Down And Out
Composer(s): Paul Williams
Performer(s): Paul Williams



Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!

You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by!

Sure you've hit the bottom,
But remember you'll be building from the ground up!
Ev'ry day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try!

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!

You don't have to sit around
Depressed about the way that luck deceived you!
Fortune sailed away, you missed that boat
And found that you'd been left behind!

Fight and fight some more
Until you know the world is ready to receive you
Lady luck is fickle
But a lady is allowed to change her mind

You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try!

You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try, so give it a try!

We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
(Repeat)
