So many mouths to feed on the farm[00:00:14]

Sonny was the second to the last one born[00:00:20]

His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad[00:00:25]

And he grew up wild good love he never had[00:00:31]

He had a left like henry's hammer[00:00:34]

A right like betty bamalam[00:00:37]

Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread[00:00:39]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:00:42]

Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans[00:00:56]

But he had dynamite in both his hands[00:01:01]

Boom bam like the slammer door[00:01:07]

The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor[00:01:13]

Beware the bear's in town somebody's money says[00:01:15]

The bear's going down[00:01:20]

Yeah the bear never smiles[00:01:21]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:01:24]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:01:27]

The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks[00:01:35]

With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks[00:01:46]

They didn't want to have a bogey man[00:01:52]

They didn't like him and he didn't like them[00:01:58]

Black cadillac alligator boots[00:02:00]

Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits[00:02:03]

Some say the bear took a flop[00:02:06]

They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop[00:02:09]

He had a left like henry's hammer[00:02:11]

A right like betty bamalam[00:02:14]

Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread[00:02:17]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:02:20]

Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same[00:02:28]

But a criminal child wears a ball and chain[00:02:39]

So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne[00:02:45]

And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone[00:02:51]

Beware the bear's in town[00:02:53]

Somebody's money says the bear's going down[00:02:56]

Yeah the bear never smiles[00:02:59]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:03:02]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:03:05]

At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor[00:03:13]

There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer[00:03:24]

There was no investigation as such[00:03:30]

He hated needles but he knew too much[00:03:35]

Criss-crossed on his back[00:03:38]

Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks[00:03:41]

The second-last child was the second-last king[00:03:44]

Never again was it the same in the ring[00:03:47]

He had a left like henry's hammer[00:03:49]

A right like betty bamalam rode with the muggers[00:03:52]

In the dark and dread[00:03:56]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:03:58]

They never could be sure about the day he was born[00:04:06]

A motherless child set to working on the farm[00:04:28]

And they never could be sure about the day he died[00:04:34]

The bear was the king they cast aside[00:04:39]

Beware the bear's in town[00:04:42]

Somebody's money says the bear's going down[00:04:45]

Yeah the bear never smiles[00:04:48]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:04:50]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:04:53]
