Christy Brown a clown around town
Now he's a man of renown from Dingle to Down
I type with my toes
Suck stout through my nose
And where it's gonna end
God only knows
Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling of the drays
Down all the days
I have often had to depend upon
The kindliness of strangers
But I've never been asked and I never replied
If I supported Glasgow Rangers
Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling of the drays
Down all the days
Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling of the drays
Down all the days
