Stand Up and Fight

Thanks a lot! I'm sure glad to be,

To be where I can see

So many friends of mine.

How've I been doing 

How've I been doing

If you really want to know the truth,

I'm doing fine!

Seventeen decisions in a row,

An' only five on points; the rest were all K.O.

Jackson an' Johnson, Murphy an' Bronson,

One by one they come,

An' one by one to dreamland they go.

How's it done? 

You ask me, how's it done?

I got a trainer man who taught me all I know.

Sure feels good to have him in my corner,

Hear his voice a-whispering low:

Big boy, remember, you must remember...

Stand up and fight until you hear that bell,

Stand toe to toe, trade blow for blow,

Keep punching till you make your punches tell,

Show that crowd what you know!

Until you hear that bell, that final bell,

Stand up and fight like hell
