Going Down Lyrics by Gerome Ragni, Hair Ensemble (1967)

Hair (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

1967

[BERGER]
Me and Lucifer
Lucifer and me
Just like the angel that fell
Banished forever to Hell
Today have I been expelled
From high school heaven
Elevator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down
This is my doom
My humiliation
October, not June
And it's summer vacation
Such a disgrace
How can I face the nation?
Why should this pain
Bring me such strange elation?
Oh oh
Escalator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down
Emancipation, oh, Proclamation
Oh Dr. Lincoln, my head needs shrinkin'
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lucifer and me
Doomed from here to eternity
Bah
[BERGER & TRIBE]
Growing up, going down
Going down
Going down
Growing up, going down
Going down
Going down
[BERGER]
Forgive me if I don't cry
It's like the Fourth of July
Thank God that angels can fly
From high school heaven
[BERGER & TRIBE]
Everybody going down down down
Going down
Everybody going down down down
Going down
[TRIBE]
Down, down, down
Going down down down
Going down down down
(Forgive me if I don't cry)
Going down down down
(It's like the Fourth of July)
Going down down down
(Thank God that angels can fly)
Going
[BERGER & TRIBE]
Down down down
Going down down down
Going down down down
Going down
