Whole Lotta Downs

Dip me in the pool to cool me down Sit me in the sun to make me brown Put me on a throne to give me crown Take me in a car to drive to town Lets go to the circus to see the clown Make me really sad to make me frown Stick me under water you can make me drown Go into a church I wear my catholic gown Set to blast away I await the countdown If I was in a rocket I’d be set for splashdown Going home would take me to my hometown One kind of dance would be a hoedown To have all the info you might have the lowdown If you were speeding you might have to slow down Going half the way might leave me in midtown Needing to retire I might have to step-down Doing very well will earn me renown Getting really angry will make you breakdown Being in South Africa might leave me in cape town If I could not keep it running I might have to shutdown Because I did not like it up I might have to turndown From the rising of the sun I can work til sundown Getting really sore I will need a rubdown If I do not like your show you will get a thumbs-down Some things that I buy are at a markdown Hearing silly stories can leave me feeling cut-down I like to see my lady in her beauty nightgown Made some extra money from a good old boomtown If I was not looking up you could see me facedown Might be really funny if I were in Jamestown Getting very hot we will have a meltdown Doing me some wrong would get you knockdown If I need to visit would you need to comedown Pulling out your guns is bringing the showdown Breaking all the rules I will have to crackdown Getting very old do I look that rundown If I caught the ball would I get a touchdown Time for to me retire and I am going uptown Where down in Ohio is a place called Youngstown If you can not shake it up then you have to shakedown
