Marathon Runner Songtext
von Aural Exciters

He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He's a runner and he sure gets around

He gets up in the morning
And I don′t know where he's going
All I know he's running and running and running
And off somewhere

He gets up in the morning
Even before the sun can rise
And without even yawning he′s in stride
(He′s a runner and he sure gets around)
Oh, he strides and he strides

He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)


Even when the raindrops are falling
He′ll be jogging around the reservoir
A chance for glory is finally calling, be a star
(He's a runner and he sure gets around)
Here′s your chance, be a star

He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Marathon runner)
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Marathon runner)
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)

On your mark, get ready, get set, go, man, go
On your mark, get ready, get set, go, man, go
On your mark, get ready, get set, go, man, go
On your mark, get ready, get set, go, man, go

He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He's a runner and he sure gets around
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He's a runner and he sure gets around

He awaits that challenging moment
When he faces twenty-six miles
Though he knows his youth is spent, he still tries
(He′s a runner and he sure gets around)
Oh, he tries and he tries, yeah


He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)

He's a runner and he sure gets around
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)

Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go

Go, man, go

Go, man, go

Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go
Go, man, go

Dressed in only a sweat suit and sneakers
Thousands have the same design
Some are stronger and some are weaker
Some will pass (And the winner is)
Only the strong survive
(Go, man, go)

(Go, man, go)

(Go, man, go)

He′s a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He's a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
He′s a runner and he sure gets around
(Go, man, go)
