I've earnt my stripes
Dabbling in this and that
I know I've earnt my stripes
Like a soldier I was at it
Now it's time to strike
My teeth are clenched
Just like a great grey shrike
I'll take you down and now it's
La la la
I'm just a northern monkey
I've earnt my stripes
Gambling with this and that
I know I've earnt my stripes
Like a sailor I was at it
Now it's time to strike
The gloves are off
A Suarez bite
Will set me off and so it's
La la la
I'm just a northern monkey
