An insurance agent named Johnny B. Blank Ran a run-down debit on the poor West Bank In the hardest of times he endeavored to be The number one man in the company "I'd prefer not to say what's become of my pay" He stood up and spoke at a meeting one day "But I hereby intend to reverse this trend To triple my paycheck before the year's end" "Good luck Johnny Blank" someone said with a smirk "But the fact is the West Bank is all out of work" Johnny looked at his colleague spoke steady and clear "I'll be number one by the end of the year" Oh Johnny Positive thinking is all that you need To succeed From that day on Johnny Blank was possessed Making pitch after pitch with fanatical zest But no matter how hard he would push and persuade He'd hear the sad song of the oil trade "The rigs are shut down and the boats are asleep It's not worth their while because oil's too cheap My husband and brother my nephew and son Have all been laid off as for money there's none" Oh Johnny Positive thinking is all that you need To succeed So Johnny would leave but would not overlook To write down their names in his prospect book And always he did the best he could do And always the list of his prospects grew Then at last the economy started to change The price had gone up in the oil exchange Business was booming as none had foreseen From Buras to Boutte and in between Oh Johnny Positive thinking is all that you need To succeed Now Johnny B. Blank was on top of the world As dozens of pages of prospects unfurled He'd written their names when they couldn't afford But now they had money and how it poured In the last few months of that famous year Johnny B. Blank secured his career He tripled his pay for a job well done And true to his word he became number one Oh Johnny Positive thinking is all that you need To succeed Oh Johnny Positive thinking is all that you need To succeed
