The Boxing Song Lyrics - Singles - Wynn Steve

By: Steve Wynn 

Joe Louis, Gene Tonney, 

hard knocks, easy money 

took 2 million to take a dive 

and Las Vegas paid out eleven to five 

Jerry Cooney, Sonny Liston 

wasn't firing on every piston 

took five and threw in the towel 

and another wrong taken from Valhalla 

Go down, go down, go down, go down 

Go down, go down, go down 

ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive 

Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin, 

the line judge wasn't all that charming 

took 2 million to fall down 

and Las Vegas set the word all over town 

Go down, go down, go down, go down 

Go down, go down, go down 

ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive 

Joe Louis, Gene Tonney, 

hard knocks, easy money 

took 2 million to take a dive 

and la la la la la Las Vegas paid a million to five 

Go down, go down, go down, go down 

Go down, go down, go down, go down 

ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive 

walking home ah ha ha ha
