Ambling Alp

Now kid I know I haven't been a perfect man And I've avoided doing things I know I can But if I've learned one thing, the tattoo on my arm Will burn into my thumb, it would be that You must stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Old man Schlemming was a formidable foe The Ambling Alp was too, at least that's what I'm told But if you learn one thing, then learn this well In June, you must get past yourself They will run but they can't hide You must stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done And when those thunderclouds are crying in the skies, in the skies And when those fireflies keep shining in your eyes, in your eyes Keep your mind on the tide Keep your minds on the line Keep your feet, feet, sliding (Into the sky, into the sky) Now the world can be an unfair place at times But your lows will have their compliment of highs And if anyone should cheat you Take advantage of or beat you, raise your hand And wear your wounds with pride You must stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done
