Casius Clay
Lyrics by Ronny Criss                  © Copyright 2005


Now there is a man out there trapped in his body
One that once was the cream of the crop
He’d catch you with eyes of wonder
And he could make anyone drop

 

And with his fists he’d always whip
You know that boy was never gonna quit 
There was no opponent he couldn’t hit
Sonny, Joe, George or the Government


Hey, Hey, there goes Casius Clay
What did that boy say, I heard he even changed his name
Woooeee can you believe Mohammad Ali
He can dance all around the ring
And float above right before he’d sting ya

A Louisville Slugger from Central High
A mouth big enough to swallow the sky
The prettiest fighter you’ll ever see
As brave as any man could ever be


In ’64 you know he said he'd win
In ’65 he did it again
In ’67 it was Uncle Sam
Well he ain’t got a fight in no Vietnam

Hey, Hey, there goes Casius Clay
What did that boy say, I heard he even changed his name
Woooeee can you believe Mohammad Ali
He can dance all around the ring
And float above right before he’d sting ya
