(Verse two)

Never wanted to be A part of history

I have my days in the sun

A beach bum a man for all seasides

Guidance counselor said Your scores are anti-heroic

Computer recommends Hard-drinking calypso poet

Studied life at sea Studied life in bars

Never passed my S.A.T.'s

So I thought I'd study extra hard

(CHROUS)

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I have learned my trade from the inside out

I can strum real hard I can play real loud

I can charm a crowd If It All Falls Down

If It all Falls Down falls down falls down

I can warm a crowd I can make them shout

I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns

I can make them dance till they all fall down

Am7

We had plenty of doctors

G6(add 5th)/B

We had plenty of lawyers

C7

We had people to make us things

G6(add 5th)/D

We had people to sell us those things

Em7 G6

We didn't have enough room for those things

Am7 G6(add 5th)/B

We build lots of self storage

C7 G6(add 5th)

Calypso poet shortage

Em7 D/F# (single notes) A F# D A E(to chorus)

Calypso poet shortage

(Chorus)

D/F# G D/A Em/B D Em D/B C

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

D C G

I'll have filled that void from city to town

I'll have spent my money and taken my bows

I'll have had my fun If It All Falls Down

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

If they solve my life if they find me out

Never thought to keep all I have found

I have had my fun If It All Falls Down

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I can charm a crowd till they snake danced round

With calypso beat down island sound

I can make them dance till they all fall down

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I can charm a crowd I can make them shout

I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns

I can make them dance till they all fall down
