GmEb
Do you remember Gerry Cooney
BbD
Well, girls, put your titties away
GmEb
Yeah, this great man, The Great White Hope
BbD
He slipped back between the ropes
GmEb
And he never stepped inside
BbD
The spit bucket that he did find
GmEb
And he looked at me, gave me a wink
BbD
And Cooney, yeah, he just started to sing
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
BbF
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
BbFGm
Oh, Gerry Cooney, I will fight for you
[Verse 2]
GmEb
Yeah, I remember St. Stephen's Day
BbD
Cooney came over, he hoped to make way
GmEb
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
BbD
They left me so cold, I wanted to fight
Gm N.C.
So I hit him one time, I hit him two time
BbD
Cooney, he just smiled, that ain't right
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
BbF
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
BbF
Oh, Gerry Cooney, I will fight for you
[Verse 3]
BbD
You went to ride on the other cow
EbF
At 141, yeah, I was too high
BbD
So I grounded my weight down to 136
EbF
Yeah, I know, I look skinny and sick
BbD
See ????????????????????????????
EbF
Come on, Cooney, you're not responsible
BbD
Step out the way, I'll take one of your rounds
EbFGm
Come on, Cooney, get up off the ground
[Verse 4]
GmEb
Yeah, I remember Gerry Cooney
BbD
Men, put your gusto to shame
GmEb
He fought for us, inside the ring
BbD
Sure he lost, but at least we could sing
[Chorus]
Bb
He sang, wop-ba bah looba
Eb
A-bump an goo
BbF
A tutti-frutti, oh, rutti
Bb
Shama-lama-lama ding-dong
Eb
Wop-bam boom
BbFF7Bb
Oh, Gerry Cooney, oh I love you
