088 IT'S ON - Don Henderson, 1963
video

1. A sad story you'll hear if you listen to me,
About two men who could never agree;
What one called white, the other called black,
They'd argue a while, then step out the back ...

Chorus:
And it's on!
All reason and logic are gone!
Winning the fight won't prove that you're right,
It's sad, it's true, but it's on!

2. When it was over they'd come back and then
The argument would become heated again;
Who'd won the last round they couldn't decide,
So one asked the other would he step outside ...

3. They'd been fighting so long they could neither recall
hat in the first place had started it all.
But they keep at it, day in and day out,
Now they're fighting to see what they're fighting about ...

4. Just you imagine if intellectuals
Came to agreement through Queensberry rules!
Could easily be argued that the square root of four
Was fifteen less three plus a smack on the jaw ...

5. And if governments think that it makes better sense
To save on education and spend on defence,
Could easily be argued that on the same grounds
Elections should be ... the best of ten rounds ...
