He came a little sooner Then the other fellow did.

And stayed a little longer Then the other fellow would.

He worked a little harder And he talked a little less;

He never really hurried And he showed but little stress.

For every little movement His efficiency expressed.

He saved a little money In a hundred little ways.

And banked a little extra When he got a little raise.

Of course it’s little wonder That he murmurs with a smile

As the dividends keep coming, “Are the little things worthwhile?”
