Lyrics
The smell of sweat
Congests the lungs
Of a sea of screaming fans.
Two boxers box,
They bob and weave,
And aspire to be the first to land.
A clash of heads
Like a wrecking ball
Flings a red mist in the air.
Still the punches fly
Some landing flush
But none the worse for ware.
Hyped up on adrenaline
Snake bit with venom in
Ringside both gentlemen
When in have been killin’ men.
“Sweet Science” in full effect
Two giants starting to connect
A bomb lands square on the chin
Ref starts the count to 10.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8--- he's up!"
Staggered and punch-drunk
Can he survive that?
He's trying to tie up inside and vying to fight back.
He's laying on the ropes
Looking like he can't cope
When all the sudden
He throws something
That lands smack dab on the button!!!
The tables have turned now
Nobody can see how
A man could take a shot like that and still turn it around.
But this here's a brawler
The Manassa Mauler
The one and only greatest ever
Rough and tumble fighter
Hellfire igniter
LOADED GLOVES! LOADED GLOVES!
Better start runnin’ cause he’s comin’ to get ya.
LOADED GLOVES! LOADED GLOVES!
Put your mitts up cause he’s gunnin’ to hit ya.
LOADED GLOVES! LOADED GLOVES!
Every time you take a lick it feels just like a horse kicked ya.
LOADED GLOVES! LOADED GLOVES!
Don’t remember a thing, but you've been told that he whipped ya.
He's trying to tie up inside and vying to fight back.
And all the sudden he throws something that lands smack dab on the button!!!
Who can take a shot like that and still turn it around?
The one and only, greatest ever, rough and tumble fighter - hellfire igniter!
The Underdog at 10 to 1
Is chomping at the bit to stun
Ready to end the big man's reign
All his life he's been raisin' cane.
Round and round the ring they go
Toe to toe, exchanging blows
Blackened eyes and bloodied nose
Everything in suh-low mo'
Grab. Hold. Jab. Counter. Make him fold!
Grab. Hold. Jab. Counter. Make him fold!
Fight, Jack, fight! Fight, Jack, fight!
"When you cut down a tree, you don't start at the top. Work the body, Jack. Work the body!"
Fight, Jack, fight!!!
THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FA-ALL!
KID BLACKIE'S THE KING AND RULER OF A-ALL!
Who is the man with the iron left hand,
Who the men all refer to as the greatest ever to
Lace up the gloves, when push came to shove?
Jack Dempsey, that's who, and he's coming for you!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the new heavyweight champion of the world. Jack "The Manassa Mauler" Dempsey!
THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FA-ALL!
KID BLACKIE'S THE KING AND RULER OF A-ALL!
JACK DEMPSEY'S THE MEANEST IN THE LAND!
YOU'LL FIND NO PLASTER OF PARIS ON HIS HA-ANDS! (He's just that much of a badass!)
