Don't think for a minute he was weak,

And here's what I know

Whenever I'm in doubt I look up what he said

It's all there in the good book

In black and white and red

Not a very good representation of the song. There is a second verse that you forgot to put in, and in actuality, you took half of the chorus and half of the verse and put them together. I recommend listening to the song as you enter it, in case you incorrectly remember how the song goes.
