"You'll Never Get Me Up In One Of Those" lyrics

I'd rather work in the city in a pinstriped suit and bowler hat
If you break my arm I'll join the union, you know how I feel about that
You put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
You're never gonna get me up
You'll never get me up in one of those

I'd rather serve my time in the Foreign Legion
Or risk my neck travelling on the Southern Region
Put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
You're never gonna get me up
You'll never get me up in one of those

Yeah, I can stay down here and get high
I ain't got no reason whatever to fly
If the good Lord had meant to get us up in one of them things
Well he'd have given us the tickets as well as the wings

Yeah, if you don't mind, I'll take my chances crossing the street
'Cause I dig the feel of the ground under my feet
Put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
You're never gonna get me up
I said you'll never get me up in one of those

Yeah, I can stay down here and get high
You see I ain't got no reason whatever to fly
If the good Lord had meant to get us up in one of them things
Well he'd have given us the tickets as well as the wings

Yeah, so if you don't mind, I'll take my chance crossing the street
'Cause I dig the feel of the ground under my feet
You put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
You're never gonna get me up
You'll never get me up in one of those
You'll never get me up
You're never gonna get me up
You'll never get me up in one of those

I won't fly, don't ask me
I won't try, but don't ask me
'Cause you're never gonna get me up
You'll never, never
