One of my all-time favs.
One of those "skin beneath the skin, the story beneath the story" songs
fade to white....

lyrics

FIGHT SONG
words/music: Bill Mallonee
Well they all said....said it couldn’t be done
me? Well, I proved ‘em...I proved ‘em all wrong
against all the odds...in this stacked up world
the sharks in pinstripes...with their pin-up girls

Chorus:
Oh, Mister, I’m a wonder
meet Lightening. Now meet Thunder
and when it’s all done...it’s just flashbulbs & champagne
there ain’t nothing I couldn’t hurt
with some good gloves & footwork
'cept these ghosts...living in my brain

I did it with style... I did it with finesse
you just tighten the gloves, kid...& let ‘em do the rest
ya’ learn to get in quick...don’t let your guard drop
You harden your stomach...and you harden your heart

yeah, I stunned ‘em in New York...I wowed ‘em in Reno...
Met this girl in Havana... and I took her to Rio
to play for this crowd...surrounding this ring
all hungry for blood...so that’s what I bring.
