Lyrics

[Chorus}

Wallop! he's gone down

Wallop! he's gone down

(Verse 1)

Now, once there was a boxing match

And both the boy's was up to scratch

One had the chat and all of the lip

But the bloke with the poke said

He would put the lip to kip

The lip shouted, 'Come on son'

'I'll have this fight in one!'

And the lip danced all around the boxing ring

But he poked his chin too far in

And a big left hook on the chin he took and

Wallop! he's gone down

(Verse 2)

They goes and builds a rocket ship

And three blokes they pushed inside of it

They counted down, the fuse was lit

They said 'Send it up, best of luck, lunatics!'

They told them boys, 'You'll soon adjust'

'Just bring us back some lunar dust'

The captain, he shouted when they got there

'Ain't it hot in here, I need some air!'

He's pulled the latch that opened the hatch and

Wallop! he's gone down

[Chorus}

Wallop! he's gone down

Wallop! he's gone down

Wallop! he's gone down

Wallop! he's gone down

(Verse 3)

One day I thought I'd have a bet

Although I've never been lucky yet!

'Mustn't Grumble' was the name of the horse

And the bloke from the stable said

'He's gonna win, of course!'

I listened to the radio

The commentator said, 'Hello!'

'Here they come over the final fence'

All of a jumble, neck and neck

But 'Mustn't Grumble' took the tumble and

Wallop! He's gone down

(Verse 4)

I parks me lorry 'round the back

I goes indoors to have a snack

All of a sudden, I hear the noise

I thought, 'Oh no, here we go, them bleeding boys!'

I run outside, got hold of this yob

I says to him, 'You want a job?'

'It's you keep sodding about with my back lights'

He started to holler, 'Let go of me collar!'

He gives me a smack, I hit him back and

Wallop! He's gone down

[Chorus}

Wallop! he's gone down

(Repeat to fade)
