The one I love don't want me hanging round All she does is put me on and put me down Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home And I'm here at a tavern gettin' stoned. 'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swinging Where there's lights and laughter Booze and blonds and a lots of sad, sad singing I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go. I'll dance with all the girls and buy the wine Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime She thinks she made a fool of me by loving someone else She should see me make a fool out of myself. 'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swinging Where there's lights and laughter Booze and blonds and a lots of sad, sad singing I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go...
