Bugsy Malone - So You Wanna Be A Boxer Lyrics
So you wanna be a boxerIn the golden ringCan you punch like a south-bound freight trainTell me just one thingCan you move in a whirl like a humming bird's wingIf you need toyou weaveCan you fake, and deceive when you need to?Well, you might as well quitIf you haven't got itSo you wanna be a boxerCan you pass the test?I can tell you've got it in youI've trained the bestWhen you work and you sweatAnd you bet that you train to a buzz-sawThen you near lose your mindWhen you find that your boy has a glass jawSo you might as well quitIf you haven't got it.Putting him in the ring, JoeLook at what you foundWe can use the fun, JoePushing him aroundWell show him the ropesAnd destroy his hopesPut him in the ring, JoeGive the guy a chanceLet him feel the sting, JoeWe can make him danceWe'll pulp him to bitsThen he'll call it quits for sure, JoeSo you wanna be a boxerWanna be the champThere's a golden boy inside youNot a punched-out trampIf you listen and you learnThere's an honour you can earn and defend hereWhen you do see the crownYou're a king not a clownA contenderBut you might as well quitIf you haven't got itPut him in the ring, JoeSomething new to punchLet me have a swing, JoeThen we'll go to lunchWe'll make it quite swiftThen he'll get the driftPut him in the ring, JoeChicken a la carteLet me have a wing, JoeTearing him apartThat chicken will crowLet me have him Joe
