Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Let us remember Muhammad Ali
From '64 to '78 his every opponent was jinxed
'til out of East Boogie one fateful night
Came a toothless Kat Named Leon Spinks
Spinks was "sweet science," Ali was all heart
For 15 bells and one last toll
But in the end it was clear to all
He wasn't the Ali of old
Muhammad Ali, Trainer Angelo Dundee
With the Fight Doctor Ferdie Pacheco
KO'd Liston, broke a jaw beating Norton
Made 3 greats with Frazier and 1 wreck of
George Foreman
Cocky with wit, ever quick to predict
The round in which his opponent would fall
He'd "shuffle" His Feet and "rope-o-dope"
He was "pretty" back then- -and still "The Greatest" of all
