[Verse 1]
So you wanna be a boxer
In the golden ring?
Can you punch like a south-bound freight train
Tell me just one thing
Can you move in a word
Like a hummingbird's wing
If you need to? (Ooh, that's fast)
Can you bob, can you weave
Can you fake, and deceive
When you need to?
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
[Verse 2]
So you wanna be a boxer?
Can you pass the test
I can tell if you've got it in you
I've trained the best
When you work and you sweat
And you bet 'cause you train
To a buzz-saw (Zing)
Then you near lose your mind
When you find that your boy
Has a glass jaw
So you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
So you wanna be a boxer
In the golden ring?
Can you punch like a south-bound freight train
Tell me just one thing
Can you move in a word
Like a hummingbird's wing
If you need to? (Ooh, that's fast)
Can you bob, can you weave
Can you fake, and deceive
When you need to?
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
[Verse 2]
So you wanna be a boxer?
Can you pass the test
I can tell if you've got it in you
I've trained the best
When you work and you sweat
And you bet 'cause you train
To a buzz-saw (Zing)
Then you near lose your mind
When you find that your boy
Has a glass jaw
So you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
