Ambling Alp Lyrics

Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man
And I've avoided doing things I know I can
But if I've learned one thing the tattoo on my arm
Will burn into my thumb it would be thatYou must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else doneOld man Schmelling was a formidable foe
But Ambling Alp was too, at least that's what I'm told
But if you learn one thing, you've learned it well
In June you must give Fascists hell, they'll run but they can't hideYou must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else doneAnd when those thunder clouds are crying
In the skies, in the skies
And when those fireflies keep shining
In your eyes, in your eyesKeep your mind for the time

With your ass on the line
Keep your feet, feet sliding
To the side, to the sideNow the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with prideYou must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else doneStick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
