Wake up
get up
wash and brush up
make tea and drink up
dress up
and it's downhill
from hereon in.
You've got to play to
be in with a chance to win
or so they say
I'd sooner take a flyer
not buy a
ticket
tell them to stick it
where the sun
don't shine.
I think they manufactured me
in a factory
somewhere in little Italy
and put the wrong language
box in
See
no way on gods earth to win
when you can't even speak
the lingo
and so
wake up
get up
get ready to roll or
be rolled
work until you're old
and die
You've been told
don't ask why
rock bottom isn't so hard
rising above it is
a lot tougher.
