[Chorus]
Like the market price
No, you can't keep a good man down
He’s sure to rise again and again
Like merchandise
No, you can't keep a good man down
He's sure to rise again and again
Like mercury in July

[Verse 1]
You can slap his face
In a public place
Then accuse him of adultery
You [?]
[?]
Send him to the DMZ

[Pre-Chorus]
Of this I am sure, darling
Man will endure, darling

[Chorus]
Like the market price
No, you can’t keep a good man down
He's sure to rise again and again
Like merchandise
No, you can't keep a good man down
He's sure to rise again and again
Like mercury in July
[Verse 2]
Analyse his craft
And call it balderdash, girl
Charge him with incompetency
You can even give him a job
Tell him to work hard, mister
Pay him with some chicken fee

[Pre-Chorus]
Of this I am sure, darling
Man will endure, darling

[Bridge]
Now son I must advise you
Be good at heart and you'll go real far
And don't you let temptation put you in a spot
You were born to be on top

[Chorus]
Like the market price
No, you can't keep a good man down
He's sure to rise again and again
Like merchandise
No, you can’t keep a good man down
He’s sure to rise again and again
Like the market price
No, you can't keep a good man down
He’s sure to rise again and again
Like merchandise
No, you're never keep a good man down
He's sure to rise again and again
Like mercury in July
