Lyrics

Drop Down Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I see light, I see light at the end of the tunnel

Joy, joy, joy, in my heart I see light

I spoke to someone yesterday

He didn't want politics in any way

They were young and can do as they pleased

When they were older they're on their hands and knees

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

There is rich and there is poor

But I know who I'm fighting for

And when the bell strikes twelve tonight

I'll pack my bags and turn the light

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

By the candle light there'll be songs

Singing, singing, singing all night long

And the trees that hid away by day

They'll be strong and here to stay

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down, baby

Drop down dead tonight
