Ambling Alp — Yeasayer

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 to tattoo on my arm Or burn into my thumb it would be that

You must stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done

Oh Max Schmelling was a formidable foe The 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 hide

You 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 done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done

And when those thunder clouds are cryin (in the skies, in the skies) And when those fireflies keep shining, (in your eyes, in your eyes) Keep your mind on the time, With your ass on the line, Keep your fleet feet sliding (side, to the side)

Now the world can be an unfair place at times But your lows will have their compliment of highs And if anyone should cheat you Take advantage of or beat you raise your head And wear your wounds with pride

You 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 done Stick up for yourself son Never mind what anybody else done
