Lyrics
Down For The Count
Written by: G. Birchall
Keep talking, you said you were proud, keep talking you said it out loud.
Hold your head high, word to your mother
Cheers to you, dinner in your honour.
CHORUS: Don’t be the captain going down with the ship.
Don’t be the boxer going down for the count.
Don’t be a martyr, fool.
Like an American you wave your flag. Like a Canadian that leaf on your bag.
Don’t be so diplomatic always. Work everyday don’t take no holidays.
**CHORUS.
Another notch in your bed-post, gold round your neck. Aces high you’ve made the cut. You’ve made the upper deck. You’ve made the upper deck.
Frame your picture and hang it on your wall. Sew in your spare time your own voo-doo doll. Have it climb mountains, mountains so tall.
Lead armies in your sleep – lieftennant general.
**CHORUS.
