"The Champ" lyrics

Once again I'll live up to my reputation
If I want to stay number one
This evening at sundown I'll go into trainin'
And I won't give up till I'm done

I'll drink more whiskey than any man livin'
I'll stay with 'em round after round
There ain't no boozers or broken down losers
Can stay with the champ when he's down

I'll take on all comers when I'm on a bummer
Nobody's takin' my crown
And there's no contender when I'm on a bender
That can stay with the champ when he's down

You'd be amazed at the power I have
With a bottle in my right hand
In just a few rounds I can whip all the mem'ries
And drop 'em right where they stand

You'll never see me takin' the counts down
At the Blue Teardrop Lounge
There ain't no boozers or broken down losers
Can stay with the champ when he's down

I'll take on all comers when I'm on a bummer
Nobody's takin' my crown
And there's no contender when I'm on a bender
That can stay with the champ when he's down

And there's no contender when I'm on a bender
That can stay with the champ when he's down...
