Lyrics
THE DIVE
Jerry Cooney was the Great White Hope
He got into the ring, he broke his nose
The referee counted double ten
Ain’t seen Jerry since I don’t know when
He took the dive, what you say
He took the dive, I don’t know
He took the dive, what you do
You took a dive
Gino Scarvotti was a tired man
He signed his name he took it back
When they found him they shot him in the can
You ask him why he says he cant understand
He took the dive, what you say
He took the dive, I don’t know
He took the dive, what you do
You took a dive
BREAK
You sit alone at home your friends don’t call
The roof is leaking water down your wall
You look around this place is such a mess
Just to think you were a juvenile success
He took the dive, what you say
He took the dive, I don’t know
He took the dive, what you do
You took a dive.
You took the dive, what you do
You took the dive, I don’t know
You took the dive, what you do
You took a dive
