Stan' Up An' Fight Lyrics
Stan' Up An' Fight - Sammy Davis Jr
Thanks a lot
I'm sure glad to be
To be where I can see
So many friends o' mine
How've I been doin'
How've I been doin'
If you really want to know the truth
I'm doing fine
Seventeen
Decisions in a row
An' only five on points;
The rest was all K O
Jackson an' Johnson
Murphy an' Bronson
One by one dey come
An' one by one to dreamland dey go
How's it done
You ask me how's it done
I got a trainer man
That taught me all I know
Sure feels good to have him in my corner
To Hear his voice a-whisp'rin' low:
" Remember Big boy You must remember
Stant up and fight until you hear de bell
Stant toe to toe
Trade blow fer blow
And keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell
And show dat crowd watcher know
Until you hear dat bell
Dat final bell
Stant up and fight like hell "
When you fight
Out in de open air
In a patch o' light
The ring looks small and white
Out in de blackness
Out in de blackness
You can feel a hunterd thousan' eyes
Filling the night
Cigarettes
Are blinking in the dark
And making polka dots
Around baseball park
People are quiet
Den dere's a riot
Someone throws a punch
And plants it smack right on the mark
Somebody's hurt
You kinda think it's you
You hang across the ropes
Da's all you want to do
Den you look around and see your trainer's eyes
Begging you to see it through
Dey say "Remember
Big Boy remember
Stand up and fight until you hear the bell
Stand toe to toe
Trade blow fer blow
And Keep punching till you make yer punches tell
And Show dat crowd watcher you know
Until you hear dat bell
Dat final bell
Stand up and fight like hell "
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
And fight like hell
