Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Congratulations
You have survived
Congratulations
You're still alive
They kicked to kill you
Do not forget
They tried to turn you
Into a public target
[Chorus]
Welcome to this knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
[Instrumental]
Congratulations
You're still okay
I'd kiss your lips off
Any day
[Chorus]
Be careful in this knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
[Instrumental]
And by the way
You're okay by me
You're okay by me
With your handsome teeth
You're okay by me
You're okay by me
(This knockabout world)
You're okay by me
(This knockabout world)
You're okay by me
You're okay by me
