about

Written by John K. Bunkley

lyrics

I can move mountains and split the earth
Been spitting and crawling since the day of birth
Crack my knuckles and curse the man
With the limos and bimbos and big sedans

I start to shuffle when I hear bell
I'm hotter the devil chillin' down in hell
I'm the clubber and the slugger never kiss the ground
I jib jab and go pound for pound

I'm not the man in a leisure suit
With the lime green pants with with some snakeskin boots
I don't sell insurance I don't sell cars
I don't sell religion or maps of the stars

A little swagger a little bragger and I like to boast
After i put them all to shame on the whipping post
And mighty and fighty and I get the girl
Cause i'm the heavyweight champion of the world

Earthquakes crumble volcanos rumble
Tidal waves crash and fall
Atom bombs fumble but i won't stumble
Cause i'm the heavyweight champion of them all

Round one I won never broke a sweat
Round two I threw so I won the bet
Gonna be in 3 as he starts to hurl
Cause i'm the heavyweight champion of the world

The ring girl says you look so cute
With the bloody nose your such a brute
But when the bell rings a ding a ling a ling
I start to dance to begin to swing

Bob and weave and start to duck
Right hook left hook upper cut
Punch him in the belly and he turns to dough
Cause i'm the heavy weight champion TKO
