The Comeback Kid

He's ready to rumble
He's ready to rumble
(I'm doin' all right)
He's ready to rumble
He's ready to rumble

I went down for the count
Sin had knocked me out of the ring
You know what I mean?
Caught me with a sucker punch
Saw stars when I looked up from my knees
I heard the count go higher
And the devil said, "Stay down
If you try to get back up
I'll knock you to the ground'

But God was in my corner
Jesus was the referee
I even had an angel help me
Climb back to the ring
The Holy Ghost came rushing in
And I caught a mighty second wind
I guess that you could say
I'm the Comeback Kid

He's ready to rumble
He's ready to rumble
(I'm doin' all right)
He's ready to rumble
He's ready to rumble

I came up swingin' from the hip
Busted the devil's lip, ka-pow!
Take that!
The devil screamed, "This fight is fixed!"
Then he up 'n' quit, threw in the towel
They said, "Champ, how'd you do it?
Man, we though all hope was lost"
When he had me on the ropes
I let him have it with the cross

You see, God was in my corner
Jesus was the referee
I even had an angel help me
Climb back to the ring
The Holy Ghost came rushing in
And I caught a mighty second wind
I guess that you could say
I'm the Comeback Kid

He's ready to rumble, he's...
He's ready to rumble, he's...

Mmm, God was in my corner
Jesus was the referee
I even had an angel help me
Climb back to the ring
The Holy Ghost came rushing in
And I caught a mighty second wind
I guess that you could say
I'm the Comeback Kid

He's ready to rumble
He's ready to rumble

I guess that you could say
I'm the Comeback Kid

He's...
Yeah
He's ready to rumble
He's...
Well, I'm the Comeback Kid
Huh! Ha, ha, ha!
