"Don't Give It Up" lyrics - THE BLOW MONKEYS

Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
Can you, can you, can you believe that?

Whoa, oh no no
Whoa
Whoa, oh no no
Whoa, oh oh

I was sitting on a train
With schoolboys, playing poker
When who should walk in
But Jesus, Jesus Christ Himself
He cried, "Young boy, give us a kiss!"
I said, "Where?"
He said, "On the lips. Where else?
Where else?"
Well, I said, "I'm sorry my dear, but
If you choose to live by the book
Don't you know it's a sin?
It's a sin in itself
It's not good for your health"

Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
(Give it up)
Try!
Don't give it up
(Give it up)
Give it up
Give it up

Walking down, Memory Lane
Ships ahoy, again!
There's three nuns playing football on a corner
Look, there's Kenny Dalglish on a leash
"Nice to see ya, Kenny!" I cried
He nodded in my direction
It was another real affection

Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Try!
(Just give it up)
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
(Chika-chika-chika-cha-cha-cha)

La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!)
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la,
Oh, no, no, no
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, no, no, no
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, no, no, no, no,
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Waaoooh!

"Fancy a few frames?"
"Yeah, and a nice cup of tea, your break?"
"Fruitcake"
"Excuse me, can I have a glass of water?
I seem to have something in my eye
And I need to bathe it"
"A man I knew lost the sight of an eye
Through getting a bit of grit in it"
"Can I help?"
"Yeah, you wanna look at my thighs?
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Yeah"
"I happen to be a doctor. A very, very sick boy...
Oh, give it up"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Try!
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Don't give it up

The royals are having a ball!
Princess Diana turns on the lights and said,
"Shakespeare never did this
He never did this"

La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa

He didn't die of natural causes
I want to go out like one of Martin Scorcese's

Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Try!
Don't you give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Try-y-y-y!
Don't you give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Try!
Don't you give it up
Give it up
Give it up

Don't, don't, don't, yeah
Don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Full of, full of advise
You're full of advise, aren't you?
People like you
Full of advise
But, but, but, but, but

It's what I like about you
They say when you're young they tell ya
You know, you know, young boy, the world, the world
The world, the world, the world, is your oyster
But what they don't
What, what, what
What they don't tell you is that there's no-

Woah
Oh, no, no
There's no future
No, no, no
(Don't give it up)
Woah
Oh, no, no
No, no, no

Give it up!
Give it up, give it up
Give it up!

Give it up, give it up, give it up
Try!
Don't give it up
Give it up, give it up,
Try!

Give it up
Get outta here!

Yeah I know
Don't care
Yeah I know
Try!
