Lyrics
ALIVE & KICKING
You ask me how I?m doing
Well, friend what can I say
I?m just happy to be granted
Another reprieve from Judgment Day
The sun rose in the morning
The moon came out last night
Don?t ask me to be more profound
It?ll come out sounding trite
Alive and kicking
I'M Still in the game
Though I might never make it to the Hall of Fame
Alive and kicking
It?s imperative
It sure as hell beats the alternative
Coffee gets me going
And brandy slows me down
I smile when I?m happy
And when I?m mad I frown
So Mama pull down the nightshades
Katy bar the door
And we?ll just keep on keepin? on
Till we can?t keep on no more
CHORUS
You ask me how I?m doing
I guess I can?t complain
But the house needs painting, the grass needs cutting
And it surely looks like rain
As long as I keep moving
There?s always a chance
That Cinderella will give me a call
And invite me to the big dance
CHORUS
