I Bet You

ice cubes on a red-hot stove will melt.
a drowning man's very first word is help.
if you bet on a horse and the horse don't win, you lose.
if you try to sit on air, you're gonna fall.

take a car without fuel, it ain't gonna move.
a carpenter can't build his house without his tools.
if your shoes are too small, they hurt your feet.
you can't know what's going on if you sleep.

-- Barnes / Clinton / Lindsey (Funkadelic) 1970
