The Boxing Song Songtext

von Steve Wynn

Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
Hard knocks, easy money
Took 2 million to take a dive
And Las Vegas paid out eleven to five
Jerry Cooney, Sonny Liston
Wasn't firing on every piston
Took five and threw in the towel
And another wrong taken from Valhalla
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
Ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin,
The line judge wasn't all that charming
Took 2 million to fall down
And Las Vegas set the word all over town
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
Ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
Hard knocks, easy money
Took 2 million to take a dive
And la la la la la Las Vegas paid a million to five
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
Walking home ah ha ha ha
