Fish leather
Stand under the Spotlight
The gleam and glare
Of the on lookers
The champ is back!
The champ is back!
Then he walks in the ring
and this unknown punk
From Cuba wearing
A skirt over his tights
unsure and misguided
got one in; down falls
everbodies favorite.
One, two, three!
Shut this show down!
People pressed for
expression gave way
to something they didn't
Prepare for.
Lendork Holge, the
World Champ!
Lendork Holge ain't worth
Hogsquat!
You women don't want you.
Your limo gotta flat tire.
Your championship days
are numbered.
Kiss the belt and hand it over
Somebody wanna see ah man
With that thing.
Ain't gotta be proud of me
Long as you call me Champ!
Boo me.
Just call me Champ,
That's all I know,
Championship things!
Look at it this way,
You won by fluke,
Get yo asswhipping
to gain your respect, sumthang
ain't right round here.
Let me straighten it out!
