[Intro]
(If it ain’t broke…)
Ensuring
(Enduring)
The mighty oak<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
If you ever get board
(No joke, be an oak)
Keep your brain sane
(Oh, lordy lord)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
(If it ain’t broke…)
Ensuring
(Enduring)
The mighty oak<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
Strength, longevity, and resilience
(Independence)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
Are you barking up the wrong tree
(A mighty oak wanna be?)
From the humble acorn
(Grow and learn… you are born)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
(If it ain’t broke…)
Ensuring
(Enduring)
The mighty oak<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
Strength, longevity, and resilience
(Independence)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
(If it ain’t broke…)
Ensuring
(Enduring)
The mighty oak<\/p>\n

[Outro]
Strength (in a board length)
Longevity (in your durability)
Resilience (Independence)
Living for over 1,000 years
(Long beyond man’s cheers or jeers)
But no joke… can the oak
(Withstand man)<\/p>\n
