The Great Defender (Down at the Arcade)
Lyrics
Down at the arcade, the defender is there Down off of Broadway, he's there playing his games It's very dangerous putting money down on Robotron Oh, I'm the great defender, and I really know just how to get along Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Oh, I'm the great defender And I really think I've got it made A fistful of quarters, a 50 dollar stake Life is a gamble on videotape I called a disc jockey to dedicate a song to Blair It's the temps singing, "I'll be there" Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Oh, I'm the great defender And I really think I've got it made ♪ The president called to give me the news I've been awarded the Nobel Prize in rhythm and blues And Stevie Wonder wants to record one of my songs Oh, I'm the great defender, and I really know just how to get along Oh, I'm the great defender, listen to my song I really hope you like it, it isn't very long It's rooted in the '50s, but its heart's in 1984 And if you really like it, then I sing it for you once more Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Oh, I'm the great defender And I really think I've got it made Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Down at the arcade, down at the arcade Oh, I'm a great defender
