We just had time for one good shake,
We meant it too, it wasn’t fake.
Whang! went the bell, the fight was on.
I clinched until the round was gone,
A beggin’ that he’d let me take
The fall for him—he wouldn’t fake.
Hell, no, the Kid was on the square,
And said we had to fight it fair,
The crowd had bet their dough on us—
We had to fight (the honest cuss).
