Verse:
John Paul Jones' ship was sinkin',
Half his crew was dead,
His own arm nearly blown off,
When the enemy yelled and said,
"Are you ready to surrender?" John answered,
"Hell no! We haven't begun to fight!"
And he went on to win the battle
And now we know he was right, that...

Chorus One:
You can't keep a good man down!
He'll bounce back on his feet!
Just when you think you've got him,
You'll find out he can't be beat!

Verse:
Now Samson was a rebel,
He stood for what was right;
He couldn't get along with the Philistines,
They were in a constant fight.
So they bound his hands with ropes and bands,
But then it came to pass
That he broke the ropes
And slew a thousand Philistines
With the jawbone of an ass! No...

[Repeat chorus One]

Verse:
Now David was a little boy,
No one thought he could win.
Against the armored giant
His sling he began to spin.
With just one small rock and a word of prayer,
He spun it around and 'round,
And the crowds that stood by were amazed
As Goliath hit the ground! No...

Chorus Two:
You can't keep a good man down!
He'll bounce back on his feet!
Just when you think you've got him,
You'll find out he can't be beat!

Verse [Spoken]:
Now two thousand years ago lived
The best Man this world has ever known
Love, peace and truth
Were all that He ever showed.
But they took Him and they killed Him,
They nailed Him to a tree,
But three days later He a rose again
To set the whole world free! No...

[Repeat Chorus Two]

No...

[Repeat Chorus Two]

Just when you think you've got him,
You'll find out he can't be beat!
