Muhammad Ali - This Is the Legend lyrics

The legend of Muhammad Ali is already written Cause I wrote it and you better listen to it: This is the legend of Muhammad Ali The greatest fighter that ever will be He talks a great deal and brags, indeed Of a powerful punch and blinding speed The fistic world was dull and weary; With a champ like Foreman, things had to be dreary Now someone with color, someone with dash He brought fight fans running with cash This brash fighter was something to see And the heavyweight championship was his destiny Ali fights great, he's got speed and endurance; If you sign to fight him, increase your insurance Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right; If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night As you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten You better hope and pray you don't meet me again For I am the man this poem is about; Now I'm the true champ of the world There isn't a doubt Once I predicted and I knew the score I told the chumps I'd be the champ of the world in '64 When I say three, man, they go in the third Don't bet against me, I'm a man of my word Do you remember when I predicted Sonny Liston's dismemberment? I hit him so hard he forgot where October and November went. My man, if I tell you a mosquito can pull a plow Don't ask how–hitch him up!!!
