I Get Knocked Down

“I get knocked down but I get up again, they aint ever gonna keep me down,” But I always wind up looking like a toothless bloody clown, “Late that night I saved the life of Ringo,” And then I got arrested for almost playing bingo “I got stripes all around my shoulders, I got chains all around my knees,” An them sandy Goannas aint having no feed of me, “Leave him out there in the long yard, do not rush him.” Be gentle with me when you have your way, “They went out to search the ranges for the little boy lost,” And they surely bloody found him later on that day! Tubthumping by Chumbawumba, I get knocked down. Lorne Greene’s, Ringo I got stripes, Jonny Cash Leave him in the long yard Slim Dusty Little boy lost Jonny Ashcroft Tracie ~*~ A solitary sonnetist Contest Name sing a song for me...
