Tom: Gm
Gm Eb
Do you remember Gerry Cooney
Bb D
Well, girls, put your titties away
Gm Eb
Yeah, this great man, The Great White Hope
Bb D
He slipped back between the ropes
Gm Eb
And he never stepped inside
Bb D
The spit bucket that he did find
Gm Eb
And he looked at me, gave me a wink
Bb D
And Cooney, yeah, he just started to sing
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
Bb F
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
Bb F Gm
Oh, Gerry Cooney, I will fight for you
[Verse 2]
Gm Eb
Yeah, I remember St. Stephen's Day
Bb D
Cooney came over, he hoped to make way
Gm Eb
He said, "Son, come outside"
Bb
He said, "I know it's dark"
D
But he, he took one turn and then he just trailed off
Gm
So I put on his gloves
Eb
They don't fit quite right
Bb D
They left me so cold, I wanted to fight
Gm N.C.
So I hit him one time, I hit him two time
Bb D
Cooney, he just smiled, that ain't right
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
Bb F
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
Bb F
Oh, Gerry Cooney, I will fight for you
[Verse 3]
Bb D
You went to ride on the other cow
Eb F
At 141, yeah, I was too high
Bb D
So I grounded my weight down to 136
Eb F
Yeah, I know, I look skinny and sick
Bb D
See ????????????????????????????
Eb F
Come on, Cooney, you're not responsible
Bb D
Step out the way, I'll take one of your rounds
Eb F Gm
Come on, Cooney, get up off the ground
[Verse 4]
Gm Eb
Yeah, I remember Gerry Cooney
Bb D
Men, put your gusto to shame
Gm Eb
He fought for us, inside the ring
Bb D
Sure he lost, but at least we could sing
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
Bb F
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
Bb F F7 Bb
Oh, Gerry Cooney, oh I love you
