YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN

John Paul Jones his ship was sinking
Half his crew was dead
His own arm nearly blown off
When the enemy yelled and said,
"Are you ready to surrender?" John answered,
"Hell no we ain't begun to fight"
And he went on to win the battle
And now we know he was right, that

Chorus:
You can't keep a good man down
He'll bounce back every time
Just when you think you got him
He'll up and blow your mind

Now Samson was a rebel,
He stood for what was right
Couldn't get along with the system
They were in a constant fight
So they bound his hands
With ropes and bands
But alas, it came to pass
That he broke the ropes
And slew a thousand systemites
With the jawbone of an ass

[Repeat Chorus]

Now David was a little boy
He wasn't favored to win-
Against the armored giant
His sling he began to spin
With just one small rock
And a word of prayer
He spun it around and 'round
And the crowds that stood by were amazed
As Goliath hit the ground

[Repeat Chorus]
