Muhammad Ali Songtext
von Big Head Todd and the Monsters

From Louisville, Kentucky, name of Cassius Clay
Fought my way out to see another day
Seven-one odds against old 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
Know you got me dancing, I′m the champion of the ring
Know my name is Muhammad Ali

No George Foreman ever called me a quitter
No Viet Cong ever called me a nigga
Threw my gold medal in the Ohio River
I won for the land of the free, alright


Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Know you got me dancing, I'm the champion of the ring
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'm the most beautiful, I am the most beautiful fighter yet

I know my destination and I, 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 Bruce said, I will sing
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee (Yes, I will)
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee (Oh, you know I'm dancing)
Know you got me dancing, I′m the champion of the ring
Know my name is Muhammad Ali
