FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

RAGTIME SAM

It’s finally happening
Right here in New Jersey!
The greatest question there’s been:
Man versus Horse - who would win?
Settled tonight in the ring!

Celebrities fill the stands
F Scott and Zelda dance!
Jack Benny jokes with Astaire
Some say Truman is there
But disguised as a bear!

Why?

This is the Fight of the Century!
You’ll say “you just had to be there!”
This is The Fight of the Century!
No, nothing will ever compare
To The Fight of the Century!
To The Fight of the Century!

The murmurs grow and the undercard fails to ease the tension
Joey Butts fights an oak tree - wins by split decision
The lights are dimmed, you could hear a pin, as the moment breathless hangs in the air
A spotlight glares, man and horse are there!
When did they enter the ring?
The crowd explodes as the bell begins to sing!

Round One!

Sea biscuit lands a hoof
Land Biscuit shakes it off
There they stand, proud and bright
To the crowds great delight
Trading lefts, trading rights

But then the lights slam on!
Police have stormed the hall!
They try to stop the match
That’s when the crowd attacks!
The night erupts in a brawl!

Wow!

This is the Fight of the Century!
Man punched horse and horse punched man!
This is The Fight of the Century!
Cops getting hits in where and whenever they can
This is The Fight of the Century!
This is The Fight of the Century!

Arrests are made as people try to escape by private zeppelin
The promoters eat the money in hopes of destroying the evidence
Some say a bear ate an entire man before the secret service took him away
It wasn’t until the light of day
That the survivors surveyed
The aftermath of the fray
And saw on the stage this tender display:

A man in horse in embrace!!
Tongue on tongue and hoof and hand on face

Why?

This is the Fight of the Century!
Horse and man loved man and horse!
This is The Fight of the Century!
Never underestimate the passion and power of Sport
Such is The Fight of the Century!
This was The Fight of the Century!
