Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
A lightweight contender, like father like son
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
And he put him away in round number one
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring
Some have the speed and the right combinations
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
When they asked him who was responsible
For the death of Du Koo Kim
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight, and told me it was him."
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early - hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacononce again "see you darlin' " then
you leave me with more than a million doubts
i'll brace myself to tell you about
about you and me I'll be an ordinary lady
but family does mean so much to me
deep inside i got a secret wish I
i wanna be your wife I
I wanna be on your side forever
I wanna be your wife why
why don't we spend our lives together
oh when when you love a man
you're happy sharin' joys and pains sometimes
love will meet mountains to beat to climb
i'll do my best you'll see oh poor me
many things to tell you but there's my pride
stops the words inside
i'll drop you a line I don't wanna see your eyes I
chorus
when you read this please don't laugh and then
if you need me I'll be by your side till the end
chorus
