Lyrics for “Scamp”   (Christopher Norton “Connections”, Grade 5)

 I took Scamp to mean a kind of lazy ne'er- do- well, though the character who comes through in the lyrics and the music I find quite endearing! 
 
 
mm.1-20
 
I always try to measure
 whether my luck is good or whether it's not,
whether the winds will blow in my fa-vour,
sending the most important
stroke of fortune
home to me.
 
Some people say I'm lazy,
but I'm just working hard at having some rest,
trying to live my days in a fa-shion comfortable,
counting on the
most important
stroke of fortune,
not resort to
try'n my best.
Have some rest--
Wor-king hard:
