Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down, down

Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down, down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Ahh
Ahh
[Chorus]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
[Outro]
Ahh, oh ho -- ohhoh
Ahh -- down
Oh -- down, down
