I FEAR NOTHING!
>From the Abbott & Costello film "Jack And The Beanstalk" (1952)
(Bob Russell / Lester Lee)

Lou Costello (Film Soundtrack) - 1952


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!
