You’ll Never Get Me Up (in One of Those) Songtext
von Dave Edmunds

I′d rather work in the city
In a pinstripe suit and bowler hat
If you break my arm I'll join the union
You know how I feel about that
Put me in a uniform
If it comes to blows
But you′ll never get me up
No you'll never get me up
No you'll never get me up
In one of those boots
I′d rather serve my time in the foreign legion
Or risk my neck travelling on the southern region
Put me in a uniform
If it comes to blows
But you′ll never get me up
No you'll never get me up
Said you′ll never get me up
In one of those boots
I can sit way down here and get high
See I don't need no reason whatever to fly


If the good Lord had meant to get me up
In one of them days
He′d have given me a ticket
Well as a getaway
If you don't mind I′ll take my chances
Crossing the street
'Cause I need to feel the ground beneath my feet
Put me in a uniform
If it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
Said you′ll never get me up
No you′ll never get me up
In one of those boots
Oh, you'll never get me up
Never gonna get me up
Said you′ll never get me up
In one of those boots
I said you'll never get me up
Never gonna get me up
Never gonna get me up
In one of those boots
No you′ll never get me up
No you'll never get me up
No you′ll never gonna get me up
In one of those boots
Oh, you'll never get me up
Never gonna get me up
