I am the greatest!
This is the legend of Cassius Clay
The most beautiful fighter in the world today
He talks a great deal and brags indeed-y
Of a muscular punch that's incredible and speedy
This brash young boxer is something to see
And the heavyweight championship is his destiny
He is the greatest!
This kid fights great, he's got speed and endurance
But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance
This kid's got a left, this kid's got a right
If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night
And as you lay on the floor while the ref counts ten
You pray that you won't have to fight me again
The fistic world was dull and weary
With a champ like Liston things had to be dreary
Then someone with color, someone with dash
Brought fight fans a-runnin' with cash: Cassius Clay!
I'm the heavyweight champion of the world
And I'm going to become champion of the universe!
Don't think me a clown, but it's just what I want
A heavyweight crown, because I am great! I am the greatest!
