Tiny Tim - Stay Down Here Where You Belong lyrics
[Tiny Tim - Stay Down Here Where You Belong lyrics]
Down below, down below
Caught the devil talking to his son
Who wanted to go up above, up above
He cried
"It's getting to warm for me down here and so
I'm going up to Earth where I
Can have a little fun"
The devil slowly smiled and then
He answered his son
"Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you
Don't know right from wrong
To please their king
They've all gone out to war
And not one of them knows
What he's fighting for
Way up above they say that I'm
A devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger
Devils than your dad
Breaking the hearts of mothers
Making butchers of their brothers
You'll find more heat up there
Than there is down below"
"Kings up there, they don't care
For the mothers who must stay at home
Their troubles to bear
Stay at home, don't you roam
Although it's warm down here
It's warmer up there
If you go way up there, my son
I know you'll be surprised
You'll find a lot of people
Who are not civilized"
Caught the devil talking to his son
Who wanted to go up above, up above
He cried
"It's getting to warm for me down here and so
I'm going up to Earth where I
Can have a little fun"
The devil slowly smiled and then
He answered his son
"Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you
Don't know right from wrong
To please their king
They've all gone out to war
And not one of them knows
What he's fighting for
Way up above they say that I'm
A devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger
Devils than your dad
Breaking the hearts of mothers
Making butchers of their brothers
You'll find more heat up there
Than there is down below"
"Kings up there, they don't care
For the mothers who must stay at home
Their troubles to bear
Stay at home, don't you roam
Although it's warm down here
It's warmer up there
If you go way up there, my son
I know you'll be surprised
You'll find a lot of people
Who are not civilized"
