Out

 Out, out, out

Yeah, you heard me right,

Get out the door and

Don't catch fright,

Out for Yoga

Out for Pilates - don't be late!

Or out to smoke

Out for a coffee date

Out, out, out!

Never stay in

Unless it's a sin

For you've got to mind

Your mental health

Not to be left behind

Craving wealth

Leave your cosy dwelling

Start to walk

Soon things will begin gelling

Yes, you see

Getting out is being free

Free from the wife

Or a too constricting life

We're not made for 

Stillness - too much anyway

No, we need to move

Out for a drink

Time to think

Help that little old lady

Cross the road

Clear that fellow's awful load

You always told me 

Get out, out, out

And without a doubt

You've helped me out!
