about

By Phil Henry

“This is a song that is only about bowling. No politics, no character development. Bowling. Believe me?”

lyrics

I’m the best you ever seen
Ain’t no one in my league
Well the pins fall down at the very sight of me
See this shirt was tailor-made
For the King of Penny Lanes
I’m the finest bowler north of Tennessee

Yes, a hush rolls through the room
When I pull out Betty Lou
She’s sixteen pounds of polyester rage
I shine her to a rock star gleam
And every eye is trained on me
When I raise her up and step before my lane

KNOCK ‘EM DOWN - KNOCK ‘EM DOWN
YOU’RE THE HAMMER OR THE NAIL
YOU’RE THE GUTTER OR THE RAIL
KNOCK ‘EM DOWN - KNOCK ‘EM DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
KNOCK EVERY SINGLE ONE TO THE GROUND

Well, I used to chase my bourbon down with Stroh’s
Had a pretty little girl waiting back at home
But I gave her up, and gave it all away
For the perfect game
A price I had to pay

KNOCK ‘EM DOWN - KNOCK ‘EM DOWN
YOU’RE THE HAMMER OR THE NAIL
YOU’RE NOTHING IF YOU FAIL
KNOCK ‘EM DOWN - KNOCK ‘EM DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
KNOCK EVERY SINGLE ONE TO THE GROUND

Behind me on the tube
Is that businessman in blue
He’s buying votes and calling people names
And the chumps are lining up
They just can’t get enough
Well, sir, I roll this strike for you
