He's in the Ring (Doing the Same Old Thing)

歌詞

Hey, you people going out tonight. Let's go to see Joe Louis fight. And if you ain't got no money, Buddy (?), go tomorrow night. 'Cause he's in the ring doing the same old thing. Well, he even carries a mean left. You know he do! And he carries a mean right. And if he hit you with either one, Sends the charge from a dynamite. He's in the ring, boys, doing the same old thing. I'm a-tell all of you prize fighters Don't play Joe for no fool. After he hits you with that left duke, Same as a kick from a Texas mule. He's in the ring, boys, doing the same old thing. Joe Louis is a two-fist fighter. And he stands six feet tall. And the bigger they come, He says, the harder they fall. He's in the ring, oh! Doing the same old thing. I'd chance my money with 'im! For if I only had ten hundred dollars And I laid up on my shelf. I bet everybody passed my house In one round Joe would knock 'em out. He's in the ring, mmmmmmmmmmm! Doing the same old thing. I wouldn't even pay my house rent. I wouldn't buy me nothing to eat. Joe Louis says, "Take a chance with me, I'm gonna put (unintelligible) on your feet." In the ring. He's still fightin'! Doing the same old thing!
