Jab, Jab, uppecut, Jab
As I shuffle from rope to rope
Those brave enough to fight me did not have a hope
With so much speed and power
...
Looking back I wondered
why Dad was always so cool,
Me so excited
Wondering was I a fool
...
What a childhood I had with the man I called Dad
Greatest of memories together we had
Fondest of times we were never apart
Forever I will hold them close to my heart
...
Santa Claus, that magic man so high up in the sky
Isn't it amazing how this magic man can fly
With Rudolph and his sleigh
And all the presents on their way
...
Muhammad Ali, Tribute
Jab, Jab, uppecut, Jab
As I shuffle from rope to rope
Those brave enough to fight me did not have a hope
With so much speed and power
No one could ever cope
Falling to the floor, as I rope a dope
Because I am Muhammad Ali more popular than the Pope
Born in Louisville, Kentucky
My name Cassius Clay
I change to Muhammad Ali
As I fight for the rights of the minority
Taking on Muhammad Ali
How foolish could they be
When I look in the mirror, what do I see
This beautiful man
Looking back at me
So hard to be humble when you look as good as me
Everywhere I go people stop and stare at me
Guess I would too...if I was looking at me
Foreman and Frazier thought they could beat me
But I told them
After the rumble in the jungle
And the thrilla in Manilla
I would still be king
As Foreman fumbled in the jungle
I was like a gorilla in Manilla
Frazier could not live with me
As I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
I take the world title belts back home with me
In case you didn't know it
I also happen to be
The world's greatest poet
Because I am Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer you will ever see
