You cannot keep me down, try as you might,
I will not live my life so piously.
When I’m knocked down, I rise again to fight.
And I will gladly piss away the night,
battling against sobriety.
You cannot keep me down, try as you might.
So, if you stay a moment, I’ll recite
the drinks that I have drunk defiantly.
When I’m knocked down, I rise again to fight.
The lager is rebellion and the bite
of whiskey smashes all propriety!
You cannot keep me down, try as you might.
And though the vodka makes it hard to write
a villanelle of any quality,
when I’m knocked down, I rise again to fight.
And when I’m in the pub (as is my right!)
I can’t stand up, and that’s the irony.
You cannot keep me down, try as you might –
when I’m knocked down, I rise again to fight.
