The Stiff Joints - Ackee 123

from Beat Teenage Cancer - Tribute to The Beat by Various Artists

lyrics

Cross your fingers, say you're on high
Pretend you're in debt and see what life brings
But all of this taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell, the more it's like hell
You sit by the well just making a wish
It would be a shame to take too much blame
Look, we're all the same, it's only a game
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3, did I just catch you laughing?
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Forward, where the knocks are hardest
Some to failure, some to fame
Never mind the cheers or hooting
Keep your head and play the game
Try to keep your feet on the ground
Without getting them stuck in the mud
You will soon be over the moon or twice as hot as the sun
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3, did I just catch you laughing?
Ackee 1-2-3, ackee-ackee-ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Ackee, ackee 1-2-3
Cross your fingers, say you're on high
Pretend you're in debt and see what life brings
But all of this taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell, the more it's like hell
You sit by the well just making a wish
To make it plain, I'll sing it again
We're all the same, it's only a game
Ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3, did I just catch you laughing?
Ackee 1-2-3, ackee-ackee-ackee 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Someone just smiled for no special reason
It looks liken the smile's come back into season
It's easy, doesn't have to be a nice day
Just the only one you've got and it's coming, ready or not
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
