Muhammad Ali

From Louisville Kentucky name of Cassius Clay

Fought my way out to see another day

Seven to one odds against ol' Sonny Liston

Took my title from me but I kept on my mission

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

You know you've got me dancing

I'm the champion of the ring

You know my name

Is Muhammad Ali

No George Foreman ever called me a quitter

No Viet Cong ever called me a nigger

Threw my gold medal in the Ohio river

I won for the land of the free. Bumaye

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

You know you've got me dancing

I'm the champion of the ring

You know my name

Is Muhammad Ali

Yes my mind is free and all your love I'll never forget

Yes in time you'll see

I am the most beautiful

I am the most beautiful fighter yet

I know my destination and I know the truth

Yes I am the Louisville Lip that you've been talking to

All my life I've been dancing, like a rooster I will sing

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

You know you've got me dancing

I'm the world champion of the ring

You know my name

Is Muhammad Ali
