Beaten To The Punch Lyrics - Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello

You say that you'll get him and you run and get your mummy 

And you're almost beaten to the punch 

Looking for the man who sold you the dummy 

And you're almost beaten to the punch 

Laughing at the older guys, who say it's just as well? 

Saved by the wedding bell, almost beaten to the punch 

You're looking for somebody that you can knock about 

You were almost beaten to the punch 

If you've got a head for figures then you better count me out 

You were almost beaten to the punch

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You pull the piece but you soon call it love 

You go ahead and end up, almost beaten to the punch 

Your body speaks so much louder than your voice 

You let it do the talking so I don't have any choice 

And now you find that younger guys are putting up resistance 

And you're almost beaten to the punch 

You'd better get out now because you'll never go the distance 

And you're almost beaten to the punch 

Photos 

And you'll find a girl and you'll promise her anything 

Even a wedding ring, almost beaten to the punch 

Almost beaten to the punch, almost beaten to the punch 

Almost beaten to the punch, almost beaten to the punch
