Put Up a Kick

 

     Put Up A Kick.

 

 

If someone’s doing you a wrong,

     Put up a kick;

If someone’s coming at you strong

     Put up a kick.

Don’t be the victim of the shark, –

If someone wants you in the dark,

Don’t keep your toes upon the mark,

     Put up a kick.

 

If you have bought some goods not good

     Put up a kick;

’Tis best for everyone you should

     Put up a kick.

Put up a kick and put it high,

And lift your victim to the sky;

He’ll come down better, by and by –

     Put up a kick.

 

If you possess a daughter fair

     Put up a kick

If chaps are round her thick as hair,

     Put up a kick.

If there’s a Johnnie there to call

And you don’t want him there at all,

And he’s just going out the hall –

     Put up a kick!
