Going Down
[BERGER]
Me and Lucifer
Lucifer and me

Just like the angel that fell
Banished forever to Hell
Today have I been expelled
From high school heaven

Elevator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down

[

PAUL, spoken

High school dropouts, don't give up.

[BERGER]
This is my doom
My humiliation
October, not June
And it's summer vacation
Such a disgrace
How can I face the nation?
Why should this pain
Bring me such strange elation?
Oh oh
[BERGER & TRIBE]
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down

[BERGER]
Emancipation Proclamation
Oh Dr. Lincoln, my head needs shrinkin'
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lucifer and me
Doomed from here to eternity
Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

[BERGER & TRIBE]
Everybody going down down down
Going down
Everybody going down down down
Going down

[TRIBE]
Down down everybody going
Down down everybody going

[BERGER & TRIBE]
Forgive me if I don't cry
(Down down everybody going)
It's like the Fourth of July
(Down down everybody going)
Thank God that angels can fly
(Down down everybody going)
Down, down, down
Going down down down
Going down down down
Going down
