[Warren Zevon - Boom Boom Mancini lyrics]
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
From Youngstown, Ohio
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
A lightweight contender, like father like son
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
And he put him away in round number one
So hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
Seven weeks later, he was back in the ring
Some have the speed and
The right combinations
If you can't take the punches
It don't mean a thing
So hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hey!
When they asked him who was responsible
For the death of Duk-koo Kim he said
"Someone should have stopped the fight
And told me it was him"
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
But the name of the game is
Be hit and hit back
So hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
