There's lights and smoke from a thousand cigarettes
And there's little bet men making big fat bets
We're going fightin' tonight
To see Jimmy, our pride and joy
That wonderful, powerful fighting boy
Sayin', who'll take Jimmy at 6 to 4?
Here's another 10 saying that he won't hit the floor
He's a hero, a champion, he's the daddy of them all
But all the big champions must have a big fall
ย
Now, Jimmy's a local and he comes from the mines
And now he fancies the women and the wine
So with salt and with tears, our hero will grumble
And the dreams of all will start to crumble
Sayin', who'll take Jimmy at 6 to 4?
Here's another 10 saying that he won't hit the floor
He's a hero, a champion, he's the daddy of them all
But all the big champions must have a big fall
ย
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, now
Who'll take Jimmy at 6 to 4?
Here's another 10 saying that he won't hit the floor
He's a hero, a champion, he's the daddy of them all
But all the big champions must have a big fall
ย
Into the ring with a jump and a skip
Not knowing that soon there'll be blood on his lip
And on his arms and on his thighs
In his nose and on his eyes
And tomorrow's papers will say, "Oh, what a surprise!"
Tell me, who'll take Jimmy at 6 to 4?
Here's another 10 saying that he won't hit the floor
He's a hero, a champion, he's the daddy of them all
Yes, but all the big champions must have a big fall
Poor Jimmy
Poor Jimmy
Poor Jimmy
Poor Jimmy
