He’s In the Ring (Doing the Same Old Thing)

[Verse 1]
If any of y'all people going out tonight
Let's go and see Joe Louis fight
If you ain't got no money
Try to go tomorrow night

[Hook]
'Cause he in the ring now
Boys, he’s doing his same old thing

[Verse 2]
Well you know Joe Louis carries a mean left
And he carries a mean right
And if he hit you with either one
Sends the charge from a dynamite

[Hook]
In the ring
Now, he’s doing his same old thing

[Verse 3]
I'm a-tell all of you prize fighters
Don't play Joe Louis for no fool
After he hits you with that left duke
Swings a kick from a Texas mule

[Hook]
In the ring, boys
Boys, doing the same old thing

[Verse 4]
Brown Joе Louis is a two-fist fighter
And he stands six feet tall
He says hе will fight ‘em all
The bigger they come then the harder they fall

[Hook]
In the ring
Oh, he's doing the same old thing

Tell y’all what I done

[Verse 5]
Only had ten-hundred dollars
I laid up on my shelf
I bet everybody past my house
In two rounds Joe would knock him out

[Hook]
In the ring
Oh, he's doing the same old thing

[Verse 5]
I wouldn't even pay my house rent
I wouldn't buy me nothing to eat
If Joe Louis says, "come and take a chance with me
I'll betcha I'll put ya on your feet"

[Hook]
In the ring now, he's still fighting
Doing the same old thing
