Don´t know why I´m down here Must be something I said Or some small imperfection In my soul or in my head
Don´t know why I´m down here Don´t reserve to roast or bake I´m fighting off slanderous allegations Why don´t you give the kid a break?
You don´t think maybe we could talk this over? You´re a reasonable man Could we discuss my grave situation? I´m a miserable man And I´m in the frying pan
Give the kid a break (Give me one good reason why I should) Give the kid a break Well... all right, all right, so I made a few mistakes But listen, for heaven´s sake (Watch your language, kid)
OK, OK, don´t get hot
(Don´t question my judgement) (He only reaped what he sowed) (He cast his pearls before swine) (And that´s good enough for me)
(I don´t want to talk it over) (Even though I´m a reasonable man) (Sonny, from over here) (Looks like you´re in no position to bargain) (You´re a convicted man) (You´re right in the frying pan)
Give the kid a break Yeah, please, give me a break Give the kid a break (Nah, I don´t think so, man)
Come on, you know I got what it takes Can´t you give me a break? (Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over)
Ok, don´t give the kid a break Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side Don´t give the kid a break Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal Is there anything I can say Or some kind of fine I can pay? Anything?
Don´t know why I´m down here Must be something I said, I´m sorry Or some small imperfection In my soul or in my head
