Experiment

by Cole Porter

Experiment.

Make it your motto day and night.

Experiment.

And it will lead you to the light.

The apple on the top of the tree

Is never too high to achieve,

So take an example from Eve,

Experiment.

Be curious,

Though interfering friends may frown.

Get furious

At each attempt to hold you down.

If this advice you'll only employ

The future can offer you infinite joy

And merriment,

Experiment

And you'll see
