Down At The Arcade lyrics
by Reed Lou
Down at the arcade the defender is thereDown off of Broadway he's there playing his gamesIt's very dangerous putting money down on RobotronOh, I'm the Great DefenderAnd I really know just how to get alongDown at the arcadeOh, I'm the Great DefenderAnd I really think I've got it madeA fistful of quarters, a fifty dollar stakeLife is a gamble on VideotapeI called a disc jockey to dedicate a song to BlairIt's the 'Four Tops' singing 'I'll be there'Down at the arcadeThe president called to give me the newsI've been awarded the Nobel Price in rhythm and bluesAnd Stevie Wonder wants to record one of my songsOh, I'm the Great DefenderAnd I really know just how to get alongOh, I'm the Great Defender, listen to my songI really hope you like it, it isn't very longIt's rooted in the fifties but its heart's in 1984And if you really like itThen I sing it for you once moreDown at the arcade
