Billy Boy Boxer lived a life of hard knocks And he could never let up He could never let up But once he was down, boy he was out And he could never get up He could never get up He thought he had the power to change his life But he couldn't even do it if he tried And when he died all his best friends said That he wasn't that kind of guy Sally the Kid was scared to raise her eyelids Cause she was getting older She was getting older She cried and she cried as each day flew by Right over her shoulder
Over her shoulder She'd always thought she could make it last But she couldn't even do it if she tried And when she died all her best friends said She wasn't living when she was alive Mr. Ed never lost his head Cause he was always steady He was always steady But when the time hit to call it quits Old Ed was ever ready Ed was ever ready He knew he couldn't fight off his fate No he couldn't even do it with a voice But when he died all his best friends said That he didn't have too much choice
