JUST LIKE SCARLETT

Some folks will climb a mountain, Just
Because the mountain's there.
Others will face great danger, when
Someone makes them a dare,
But I am satisfied with what
And who and where I am,
And, Just like old Rhett Butler, frankly,
I don't give a damn.
Some people seek new records for
Distance and time and speed,
And world-wide recognition seems
To be their greatest need.
Politicians woo the public with
lots of old flim-flam,
But, Just like old Rhett Butler, frankly
I don't give a damn.
Some Love attending sports events,
joining a noisy crowd.
They'll cheer and clap and stamp their feet,
And carry on real loud,
But if the home team loses, each
Goes home meek as a lamb,
While, Just like old Rhett Butler, frankly
I don't give a damn.
Some girls will go to greath lenths, just
To catch a fellows eye-
Artificial lashes, nails and paint
And heels six inches high.
One wise girl says, "To win my love,
You'll take me as I am"
Like Rhett Butler, she really, frankly,
Doesn't give a damn.
