Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
Don’t know who I’m talking about?
His name is Muhammad Ali
In the left corner at the top of the ring
Is where Ali resides
His opponent’s eyes fill with terror
With no place to hide
He’ll tell you what round to expect to be knocked
And to not be nervous, not to be shocked
He awaits patiently standing in his corner
Scoping you out to make you look like a foreigner
He’s quicker than a cat of any kind, you name it
One hook two, jab jab jab that’s how he became famous
He’ll knock you out of your shoes and make your face bleed
But it isn’t over till the fat lady sings
Once the fight is over he remains so calm
Not a bead of sweat dripping down his palm
Now Ali resides in the middle of the ring
Listening to all the fat ladies sing
