Down at the arcade the defender is there Down off of Broadway he´s there playing his games It´s very dangerous putting money down on Robotron Oh, I´m the Great Defender
And I really know just how to get along
Down at the arcade Oh, I´m the Great Defender And I really think I´ve got it made
A fistful of quarters, a fifty dollar stake Life is a gamble on Videotape I called a disc jockey to dedicate a song to Blair It´s the ´Four Tops´ singing ´I´ll be there´
Down at the arcade ...
The president called to give me the news I´ve been awarded the Nobel Price in rhythm and blues And Stevie Wonder wants to record one of my songs
Oh, I´m the Great Defender And I really know just how to get along
Oh, I´m the Great Defender, listen to my song I really hope you like it, it isn´t very long It´s rooted in the fifties but its heart´s in 1984 And if you really like it Then I sing it for you once more
