Soundly trounced the beaten man warily offered his shaking hand to the victor of the bout from the start there was no doubt
That he would fall this day it seemed a shame for all who'd come to see the champ reclaim his title belt one more time we all felt
The Champ had won so many times you had to know there'd be a time when along would come a newer face knock him down take his place
His fans belief, unwavering his character, unsavory but that's what it takes if your to be the champion of your childhood dreams
He taught the kids and played the roll took their papers and signed them all a champ and a star he felt like a king he reigned supreme in the squared ring
But when he was alone at home all he sought was to drown all the sorrows he'd been through kicked and teased like a fool
If the kids could see him now curled and lonely in his shell would they then ask him why? could he answer and not cry?
Then came the day of the title match he knew within it was his last he'd make a show for his fans he'd even do their favorite stance the time had come to pass on the title of champ his time was done
After the show sitting all alone thinking of all that he had done in walked a kid and before him he stood and said you are still The Champ in my book
