Bridge
      NC
Round three, Ali buzzin like a bee
Elvis in the corner and he won't catch me
Round four, one more now Johnny’s lookin' poor,
Got a find a hit, got a leaping out the store
Round five, some jive, Elvis took a dive
Waitin' for the town hall dead to come alive
           
Round six,   seven, eight, nine…

Verse
Rest up the fightin’ the men can’t afford to
                                                       
For a rematch they’re havin’ if they ever come through
       
We’re stringing this fight right thru to the last round
                                                 
Well Paul the man was putting out a boss sound

Chorus
