Expect something dirty in return
Oh, they're flyin' high up there
They got a lot to learn
Because you can't keep a good man down
They shame me, blame me
They're tryin' to frame me
But they can't keep a good man
They can't keep a good man
They can't keep a good man down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
They can't keep a good man

Can’t Keep a Good Man Down was written by Randy Newman.
Can’t Keep a Good Man Down was produced by Peter Asher.
