So You Wanna Be A Boxer Lyrics - Singles - Bugsy Malone

So you wanna be a boxer 

In the golden ring 

Can you punch like a south-bound freight train 

Tell me just one thing 

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

If you need to 

you weave 

Can you fake, and deceive when you need to? 

Well, you might as well quit 

If you haven't got it 

So you wanna be a boxer 

Can you pass the test? 

I can tell you've got it in you 

I've trained the best 

When you work and you sweat 

And you bet that you train to a buzz-saw 

Then you near lose your mind 

When you find that your boy has a glass jaw 

So you might as well quit 

If you haven't got it. 

Putting him in the ring, Joe 

Look at what you found 

We can use the fun, Joe 

Pushing him around 

Well show him the ropes 

And destroy his hopes 

Put him in the ring, Joe 

Give the guy a chance 

Let him feel the sting, Joe 

We can make him dance 

We'll pulp him to bits 

Then he'll call it quits for sure, Joe 

So you wanna be a boxer 

Wanna be the champ 

There's a golden boy inside you 

Not a punched-out tramp 

If you listen and you learn 

There's an honour you can earn and defend here 

When you do see the crown 

You're a king not a clown 

A contender 

But you might as well quit 

If you haven't got it 

Put him in the ring, Joe 

Something new to punch 

Let me have a swing, Joe 

Then we'll go to lunch 

We'll make it quite swift 

Then he'll get the drift 

Put him in the ring, Joe 

Chicken a la carte 

Let me have a wing, Joe 

Tearing him apart 

That chicken will crow 

Let me have him Joe
