written by Albert Carey Caswell in honor of Governor Arnold 
Schwarzenegger's upcoming 69th birthday.

                         69 Reps To Be the Best

                       (By Albert Carey Caswell)

     69 reps to be the best
     Do we lead or do we rest?
     Do we build on our success?
     Do we fall or do we crest?
     Do we follow or do we lead?
     To give our world what she so needs
     Do we live large not narrow?
     Do we work out and do it now oh?
     Do we crush it,
     To find victory as such it
     Only by living the golden rule,
     Will we so shine like a jewel
     Pumping up our world so full
     Telling fear see you later
     Why you could even be the govenator
     Scheduling doubt for termination
     Eraser
     Telling it to ``get out''
     Don't be afraid to fail
     That's the only way victory to nail
     To make dynamic gains
     You must feel the burn, the pain
     And what will we create,
     With each new rep that we so take
     For the greatness we so yearn
     69 reps to be the best
     You must give your heart and soul
     To turn your dreams into gold
     By stretching ourselves beyond belief,
     For victory to achieve
     As your dreams you seek
     Saying ``hasta la vista baby'' to living meek
     Leaving dynamic gains all in your wake
     As quadzilla steps you take
     All in what our heart's create
     Don't be a girly man
     Like a commando take a stand
     69 reps to be the best
     And what is the true measure of a man?
     Who before us now so stands
     For life is so very short
     So then what is it that we all hope to sport?
     All in the days of our lives report
     And who do we lift up?
     When in tough times never giving up?
     To make our lives so buff
     All in our reps of life's as such
     Do we dare to push the envelope?
     To make dynamic gains all in our approach
     All in what our heart's invoke
     For we only have so many rep's to our world bless
     To be the best
     We must be bold,
     We must be strong
     We must work hard all day and night long
     If we wish to write our life's song
     And as the years progress some of us shall not grow old
     Men like arnold never do so
     Whose heart's never run cold
     With his heart of a child so yo
     Who see's the good in all he beholds
     Whose smile to all heart's call so
     Who never stop's believing as new dreams he conceiving
     For he knows not the word defeat even
     And failure is not an option conceiving
     All in his austrian-american heart which is beating
     Is a heart of a child who against all odds is competing
     As he let's his dreams run wild
     With his greatest of all smiles and championship style
     If you want to get to the mountain top?
     There's only one way, straight up
     69 rep's, but there's a lot more left
     In this american hero to flex
     Maybe, sixty-nine more?
     ``work out, do it now'' ``crush it'' ``get in the chopper''
     69 rep's to be the best.
