'I FEAR NOTHING!'

I FEAR NOTHING!
Words and Music by Bob Russell and Lester Lee
From Abbott and Costello in Jack and the Beanstalk

I fear nothing
When I am in the right!
Who ever pushes me around
Will find me full of fight!

I fear nothing
When I do nothing wrong,
And so I toddle on my way
And sing a merry song!

I'll be defiant
And be obstreperous
If any giant
Should try and salt-and-pepper us!

And I'll rise up --
Up to my fullest height --
'Cause I fear absolutely nothing
When I'm in the right!

A man believes what he believes
And by these principles a man must stand.
A time will come for rolled-up sleeves --
And it might help to have a fist on hand!

If I believe that I am right
There's only one thing to be done.
I don't go looking for a fight --
But I have never run away from one!

But only fools will take a dare --
And there are things that only fools defy.
If [I] smell trouble in the air
I hold my breath until the breeze blows by!

I'll snort defiance
Like some rhinoceros.
Afraid of giants?
Now, isn't that "preposseros"?

I find courage
A thing of great delight!
Sing fee-dilly-ay and fee-dilly-aye
With steady hand and steely eye!
I fear nothing
When I am in the right!

I think this song is worth consideration as Lou Costello's (un)official theme song.

Also, it's amusing to keep this boastfully heroic lyric in mind in light of certain contemporary world leaders (one in particular).
