I Get Knocked Down I Get Up Again Lyrics

Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Chumbawamba

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

I get no time

I get knocked down

The Story: I was a senior in high school when this song came out. For whatever reason, the first few times I heard it I thought the lyric was "I get no time!" So one day I'm in class and singing the song to myself I guess a little louder than I realized. My teacher (who was in her late 20s/early 30s at the time) overheard me and stopped in the middle of the lesson to point out the actual lyrics to the song. All I could do was laugh and say, "That makes a lot more sense now!" - Submitted by: Jack
