Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it on the chin, take it on the..

Sliding down the therapist's chair
She's counting down the minutes
I'm digging deep and she's pretending to care
Or if I'm honest, there's very little in it

Auntie Kathleen, retired maths queen
Never thought that there was anything wrong
And yet heart-ached Anthony
Would slap me on the back and say

Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it

I'd rather be in the dentist's chair
With Sir Paul Gascoigne in the summer of '96
Pinky promise, I'll pray to Saint Thomas More
Or no doubt you'll be cross with your crucifix

Auntie Kathleen, retired maths queen
Never thought that there was anything wrong
And yet heart-ached Anthony
Would slap me on the back and say

Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it

Fine, honest
I'm fine, honest
Fine, honestly, I'm fine
Fine, honest
I'm fine, honest
Fine, honestly, I'm fine

Fine, honest (Honestly, I'm fine)
I'm fine, honest (Honestly, I'm fine)
Fine, honestly, I'm fine (Honestly, I'm fine)
Fine, honest (Honestly, I'm fine)
I'm fine, honest (Honestly, I'm fine)
(Honestly, I'm fine)

Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take a look within
Won't you begin right over?
Take it on the chin, take it on the chin
Take it
