Knocking `em Down Lyrics

KNOCKING `EM DOWN (I. Davies)
-----------------------------

Well, there`s no way out of Marrickville
for the son of the hard working man
where the punk who has the muscle
is the leader of the local gang
Well, there ain`t no time for discussion
and there ain`t no time to waste
you just take him on single handed
you push him, `til he breaks


He said, "hey, that`s alright
I can take it for one more round
you can give me your best shot, baby
but the boy keeps knockin `em down..."


So he grew up wild and reckless
and he grew up quick and mean
`til an enterprising gentleman
put his talents in the ring
He said, "boy you`re just a renegade
you got no place left to hide...
I can make you fame and fortune
maybe champion of the world..."

[CHORUS]

He said, "hey, that`s alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
you can give me your best shot, baby
but the boy keeps knockin `em down..."

Well, there`s blood on the canvas and leather
and he learned his lesson well
but the boy keeps swingin` those punches
`til he hears that final bell

[CHORUS]

He said, "hey, that`s alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
you can give me your best shot, baby
but the boy keeps knockin `em down..."

He said, "hey, that`s alright
you can give me your best shot, baby
but they boy, hey
but the boy keeps knockin `em down..."
