lyrics

Rough and Tumble 
Words and Music by Jono Manson and Chris Barron

I started out shouting those Lynch mob blues
Another strato-bastard with something to prove
I hit the ground rocking with holes in my soles
All dressed up nowhere to roll

And it was rough and tumble
Rough and tumble

Its man bites dog in this hard assed town
If you don't wanna lose it .you'd better nail it down
You sharpen your razor from ten to four
And then you take your licks on the killing floor

And it was rough and tumble
Rough and tumble
It was rough and tumble
Rough and tumble

A shot in the arm, a kick in the pants
You'd better pay the piper if you wanna dance
I roll with the punches but I won't go down
Because I'm ripe and ready for another round

I am rough and tumble
Rough and tumble
Yes I am rough and tumble
Rough and tumble
