Bugsy Malone movie - SO YOU WANT TO BE A BOXER lyrics

rate me

<br>

So you wanna be a boxer<br>

In the golden ring<br>

Can you punch like a south-bound freight train<br>

Tell me just one thing<br>

<br>

Can you move in a whirl like a humming bird's wing<br>

If you need to (ooh thats fast!)<br>

Can you bob, can you weave can you fake and deceive when you need to? <br>

<br>

Well, you might as well quit<br>

If you haven't got it<br>

<br>

So you wanna be a boxer<br>

Can you pass the test? <br>

I can tell you've got it in you<br>

I've trained the best<br>

<br>

When you work and you sweat<br>

And you bet that you train to a buzz-saw (Zing!)<br>

Then you near lose your mind<br>

When you find that your boy has a glass jaw<br>

<br>

So you might as well quit<br>

If you haven't got it. <br>

<br>

Put him in the ring, Joe<br>

Look at what you found<br>

We can use the fun, Joe<br>

Pushing him around<br>

<br>

Well show him the ropes<br>

And destroy his hopes<br>

<br>

Put him in the ring, Joe<br>

Give the guy a chance<br>

Let him feel the sting, Joe<br>

We can make him dance<br>

<br>

We'll pulp him to bits<br>

Then he'll call it quits for sure, Joe <br>

<br>

So you wanna be a boxer<br>

Wanna be the champ<br>

There's a golden boy inside you<br>

Not a punched-out tramp<br>

<br>

If you listen and you learn<br>

There's an honour you can earn and defend here<br>

When you do see the crown<br>

You're a king not a clown<br>

A contender<br>

<br>

But you might as well quit<br>

If you haven't got it<br>

<br>

Put him in the ring, Joe<br>

Something new to punch<br>

Let me have a swing, Joe<br>

Then we'll go to lunch<br>

<br>

We'll make it quite swift<br>

Then he'll get the drift<br>

<br>

Put him in the ring, Joe<br>

Chicken a la carte<br>

Let me have a wing, Joe<br>

Tearing him apart<br>

That chicken will crow<br>

<br>

oh let me have him Joe<br>

<br>
