My legs are made of lead
There's a ringing in my head
My lungs burn and heave inside my chest
Although a warning sighs
That voice inside me cries
I'm still champion of champions I'm the best
There goes the bell again
So I rise to meet the pain
It never felt like this those years ago
I'v put on a little weight
At times I move too late
Even good old Arnie says I'm slow
This young buck he's a tiger
Fighting fit and full of fibre
He throws a perfect searching jab and cross
He has speed and he has power
And how those wild eyes glower
It's time to show this kid I'm still the boss
So I'll reel him in to mix
Then I'll fire a few old tricks
Teach him what this game is all about
Now I have him in a clinch
Though he doesn't give an inch
I'll prove he's just another back street lout
I caught him on the chin
The lubber a'int caved in
I caught him square with my solid right
He gave a little stagger
Then come back all a swagger
My God its going to be along hard night
I'm finding him too greasy
And he's catching me too easy
I taste the blood that trickles down my throat
He gives a wicked grin
Which says he's going to win
Then starts to dance and prance and gloat
Now he's turning up the heat
Lay down old man yer beat
He whispers in my ear while I cling on
But I know the bloody score
Cause I'v hiked this road before
Though taking a fair beating I'm far from gone
I feel each landed punch
They jar and smash and crunch
But I'm hard no one has ever kept me down
So let him punch all day
Ti'll he wears himself away
Then I'll open up and really go to town
I can bob and duck and weave
Make him miss make him grieve
Laugh to let him know he packs no clout
When he starts to lose the temper
I'll tell him to remember
This time he's in a real high class bout
Everything has turned to black
Damn it too hell I'm on my back
But I'll get up cause my heart is strong and stout
Don't stop me Arne it's crim
But I'll tear him limb from limb
Hold it champ the young buck knocked you out
