Ding Ding Ding

Ding Ding Ding enter the ring

Now introducing the fighters, and the sting they will bring

I look in his corner his shorts are blue

I can smell he’s in fear, of what I’m about to do

Touch mitts to mitts

People start thinking, what if he quits

Fighters are you ready? Let’s get it on

Time to put the brass, up against the brawn

Moving my feet, as quick as I can

Silence from the crowd, the mouths of every fan

I jab with the left, follow with the right

Prepare to raise the hand, of a new champ tonight

Put my hands down, give him the taunt

Trying to see, what he’s got to flaunt

He swings a wild hook

But I read it like a book

I dodge and I duck

When I get him in the corner, we both know he’ll be stuck

Fire back at his nose

Look at his toes he’s froze

Giving him, combo number one

Now I’m just, having a little fun

Combo number two

Look at his corner, look at his crew

They rave and they rant

Knowing their fighter can’t

Take this beating all night

It’s a sore site

They grip the towel

He begins to growl

One final burst of energy

As he swings his fists at me

My last punch connects like a boom

Sending him back, to his dressing room

By the time he begins, to realize

The rolling of his eyes

Seeing the back of his head

People wonder..is he dead?

Should have taken up another, sport instead

Now he’s on the ground

Can’t hear a sound

The ref counts to ten

Ring the bell my friend

Still laying on the mat, and he felt the sting

Ding Ding Ding now get out of my ring
