Jonny Boxer

Bar Italia in Belfast
voll mit alten Boxerfans
schwarz-weiß Videos
Titelkämpfe, Blut und Schweiß
die großen Champs von früher
deren Namen keiner mehr weiß
Plötzlich Schüsse in der Nacht
Strassenfighter draußen an der Tür
Jonny Boxer steht auf und schreit sie nieder:
wenn ihr schon glaubt, daß ihr Krieg braucht
dann überlaßt das Fighten mir
Oh Jonny
wieder steigst du in den Ring
dein Kampf ist hart und einsam
doch du mußt siegen
oh Jonny
du bleibst mein Boxerking
und ich hoff', daß sie dich niemals unterkriegen
oh Jonny
Jonnys Frau sagt: Laß es sein
du kannst die Welt nicht ändern
nicht du allein
doch Jonny will 'ne Welt für seinen Sohn
da soll das einzige Schlachtfeld
der Boxring sein
Oh Jonny
wieder steigst du in den Ring
dein Kampf ist hart und einsam
doch du mußt siegen
oh Jonny
du bleibst mein Boxerking
und niemals dürfen sie dich unterkriegen
oh Jonny
Für Barry McGuigan, dem irischen Box-Champion
