Rappaport's Testament: I Never Gave Up

(Chorus)
And if you survive me (I Never gave up)
Tell them this (I Never gave up)
And if you survive me (I Never gave up)
Tell them this

Almost as if I were planning ahead
I drank, I ate, I made love
I learnt to snatch whatever I could
I never asked for pity and I never gave up

(Chorus)

Twenty months I kept accounts
And in the end they'll balance out
Sometimes I vomit happy memories
Sometimes I laugh out loud just to crack my face

(Chorus)

And if I meet Hitler in the other place
I'll spit this precious soup in his face
And all my accounts will be settled, you see
'Cause Hitler never ever got the better of me

(Chorus)

I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
(Repeat)
