Cassius Clay Lyrics

It was deep in the jungle of Zaire
Where night fears the dawn
There was a mighty man
He was a powerful man
His fists would draw blood from a punching bag
And who would dare face him but a man
They said didn't have a chance

I'm gonna dance

He took a bomb to the body
A bolt to the head, a bomb to the body
You'd think he'd fall down dead
But it was all just part of his master plan
Cause he was gonna beat down that powerful man
And deep down in his soul
A lion did roar and bomaye

I'm gonna be like Cassius Clay
I'm gonna shine right through the pain
I'm gonna be like Cassius Clay
And win the day
I'm gonna be
Mohammed Ali

You can knock me down
You can push me around
You can put me down
You can knock me down

He was a powerful man
His fists would draw blood from a punching bag
And who would dare face him but a man
They said didn't have a chance

I'm gonna dance

He took a bomb to the body
A bolt to the head, a bomb to the body
You'd think he'd fall down dead
But it was all just part of his master plan
Cause he was gonna beat down that powerful man
And deep down in his soul
A lion did roar and bomaye

But I'm gonna be like Cassius Clay
I'm gonna shine right through the pain
I'm gonna be like Cassius Clay
So bring it on

I'm gonna be.....
