Hi to David, Traveller and Sailor who taught us the original version in Morocco! Jan 98

lyrics

LEND ME YOUR EARS AND I'LL SING YOU A SONG
BOUT THE THINGS THAT BEFALL YOU IF YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WRONG
I WAS AT HOME HAVING A TOSS
MY FRIEND CAME HOME AND I HAD TO STOP
BLOW THE MAN DOWN BLOW THE MAN DOWN
GIVE US A HAND TO BLOW THE MAN DOWN
I WANTED SOME SEX SO I ASKED HIM FOR SOME
HE SAID NO THANKS AND THAT I WAS A BUM
ON THE ROAD WE SEE THESE TRUCKS
WITH LOCKED UP ANIMALS TO BE SLAUGHTERED
BLOW THE MAN DOWN BLOW THE MAN DOWN
GIVE US A HAND TO BLOW THE MAN DOWN
THE PEOPLE I LIVE WITH GIVE ME THE SHITS
THEY'RE MY BEST FRIENDS HEY AINT IT THE PITS
I WAS OUT WALKING DOWN PARADISE STREET
WHEN A FUCKING YOUNG COPPA I DID CHANCE TO MEET
I SAT IN A VAN A MADMAN WAS DRIVING
I SAID SLOW DOWN BUT HE WENT FASTER
I TOLD HIM AGAIN BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN
I CALLED HIM A MUCHO HE CALLED ME A WITCH
BLOW THE MAN DOWN BLOW THE MAN DOWN
GIVE US A HAND TO BLOW THE MAN DOWN
