Lyrics
Alright
Me and you on the porch
Just the two of us of course
Though there will hardly pass a word
Long ago we both concurred
That things worked out alright
Yeh, alright
Early days we had to struggle on
The wages didn't last so long
I had you and you had me
Us against the world, we both agreed
That things worked out alright
Yeh, alright
Chorus
We kept our chin up all the while
If we couldn't laugh, we'd smile
Keeping strong through thick and thin
We'd take a draw when we couldn't win
Never ever give in
Verse
We didn't have much, but it was enough
We faced the world and called its bluff
Locked horns with life and still survived
Always keeping the dream alive
And things worked out alright
Yeh, alright
Chorus
We kept our chin up all the while
If we couldn't laugh, we'd smile
Keeping strong through thick and thin
We'd take a draw when we couldn't win
Never ever give in
Verse
So in the end we've done ok
As the bright new colours fade
I'm sure that you will find
We've left some happy folks behind
And things worked out alright
Yeh, alright
