And the monkey gonna finally fight"
I've been fightin', oh, oh, oh, oh, fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
Right at you, pretend to lick your boots
How to rip your soul out by the roots
Well, now I'm not what you'd call a violent man
He'd stretch a tire like a rubber band
Well, now I don't want to bore you
Oh, fightin', oh, fightin', yeah
It's how much fight is in my dog
I treat it like my front yard
Fightin' just to stay alive
'Cause the underdog is a friend of mine
I've been fightin', yeah, oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
It's not how much dog is in the fight
And I've been fightin', oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock oh, oh, oh, oh
This monkey is as strong as a gorilla
I've been fightin', fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I knew right then he would
She said, "You gotta come with me tonight
But his eyes met mine and he said, "I'll kick his ass"
I've been fightin', yeah, fightin'
It's familiar turf from the hills to the surf
You may think I'm crazy
And I've been fightin', fightin'
I'd just love to see him put that monkey in his place
The word is out that the underdog
But the news brought a smile to my face
Fightin' just to stay alive
Fightin', oh, fightin'
He didn't really look too good, no
Now, he's sneaky and he'll smile on
Fight, fightin', fightin'
Oh, been fightin', yeah, I've been fightin', yeah
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
Fightin' just to stay alive
And all the while, he'd be thinking
But I've been fightin', fightin'
The odds are against the dog, you understand
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
When we got there, my old underdog
Fightin' just to stay alive
Well, I right away ran into a girl I know
I've been fightin', oh, oh, fightin'
Fightin' to get from four o'clock to five
