Down at the arcade the defender is there   Down off of broadway he's there playing his games   It's very dangerous   Putting money down on robotron   Oh, I'm the great defender   And I really know just how to get along      Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Oh, I'm the great defender   And I really think I've got it made      A fistful of quarters, a fifty dollar stake   Life is a gamble on video tape   I called a disc jockey   To dedicate a song to blair   It's the temps. singing "i'll be there"      Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Oh, I'm the great defender   And I really think I've got it made      The president called to give me the news   I've been awarded the nobel price in rhythm and blues   And stevie wonder   Wants to record one of my songs   Oh, I'm the great defender   And I really know just how to get along      Oh, I'm the great defender, listen to my song   I really hope you like it, it isn't very long   It's rooted in the 50s   But it's heart's in 1984   And if you really like it   Then I sing it for you once more      Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Oh, I'm the great defender   And I really think I've got it made      Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade, down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   Down at the arcade   ...
