"Real Live Alchemy" lyrics
We have here nitric acid, glycerin, and a special mixture of my own
Together it's horriblem dangerous stuff – blows you up
But mixed together in the right way, as only I know how
What do you think it makes?
I don't know, sir
Of course you don't know
You don't know because only I know
If you knew and I didn't know
Then you'd be teaching me instead of me teaching you
And for a student to teach his teacher is presumptuous and rude
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, sir
"Salaam Alaikum (Wa-Alaikum-Salaam!)"
"What that's that that fella said, in the book?
He said, 'Sit, Mr. Muhammad'
He said, that in the volumes of the book, He comes
You can't say a lot of things to retort..."
"Ah... heh... heh..."
"Everybody, stop talkin' now – attention
I told ya, all of my critics...
I told you all, that I was the Greatest Of All Time..."
"Larry, 70 to 62, 7 to nothing...
I never saw a super featherweight throw 6, 7, 8 punch combinations
Like he throws
He's absolutely beautiful!"
Together it's horriblem dangerous stuff – blows you up
But mixed together in the right way, as only I know how
What do you think it makes?
I don't know, sir
Of course you don't know
You don't know because only I know
If you knew and I didn't know
Then you'd be teaching me instead of me teaching you
And for a student to teach his teacher is presumptuous and rude
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, sir
"Salaam Alaikum (Wa-Alaikum-Salaam!)"
"What that's that that fella said, in the book?
He said, 'Sit, Mr. Muhammad'
He said, that in the volumes of the book, He comes
You can't say a lot of things to retort..."
"Ah... heh... heh..."
"Everybody, stop talkin' now – attention

"Larry, 70 to 62, 7 to nothing...
I never saw a super featherweight throw 6, 7, 8 punch combinations
Like he throws
He's absolutely beautiful!"
