Nice guys finish first? Cheaters and grudgers can try their best
Twisters of truth, can mislead the rest
Yet, nice guys finish first
Abusers of power, and breakers of trust
Seem to, but prosper!
Yet, nice guys finish first
Cooperating to begin, and ready to trust
Yet, giving back cheaters with equal jest
That’s why, nice guys finish first
Now and forever; east or west
Nice guys always, finish first!
