So You Wanna Be A Boxer |
| So you wanna be a boxer |
| In the golden ring |
| Can you punch like a south-bound freight train |
| Tell me just one thing |
| Can you move in a whirl like a humming bird’s wing |
| If you need to you weave |
| Can you fake, and deceive when you need to? |
| Well, you might as well quit |
| If you haven’t got it So you wanna be a boxer |
| Can you pass the test? |
| I can tell you’ve got it in you |
| I’ve trained the best |
| When you work and you sweat |
| And you bet that you train to a buzz-saw |
| Then you near lose your mind |
| When you find that your boy has a glass jaw |
| So you might as well quit |
| If you haven’t got it. |
| Putting him in the ring, Joe |
| Look at what you found |
| We can use the fun, Joe |
| Pushing him around |
| Well show him the ropes |
| And destroy his hopes |
| Put him in the ring, Joe |
| Give the guy a chance |
| Let him feel the sting, Joe |
| We can make him dance |
| We’ll pulp him to bits |
| Then he’ll call it quits for sure, Joe |
| So you wanna be a boxer |
| Wanna be the champ |
| There’s a golden boy inside you |
| Not a punched-out tramp |
| If you listen and you learn |
| There’s an honour you can earn and defend here |
| When you do see the crown |
| You’re a king not a clown |
| A contender |
| But you might as well quit |
| If you haven’t got it Put him in the ring, Joe |
| Something new to punch |
| Let me have a swing, Joe |
| Then we’ll go to lunch |
| We’ll make it quite swift |
| Then he’ll get the drift |
| Put him in the ring, Joe |
| Chicken a la carte |
| Let me have a wing, Joe |
| Tearing him apart |
| That chicken will crow |
| Let me have him Joe |
