Boom Boom Mancini Live by Warren Zevon Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom  Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry  home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon

[Verse 1]
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
A  lightweight contender, like father like son
He  fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
And he put him away in round number one

[Chorus]
So  hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When  Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
Seven weeks later, he was back in the ring
Some have the speed and the right combinations
If you can't take the punches, it don't mean a thing
[Chorus]
So hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon

[Bridge]
When they asked him who was responsible
For the death of Duk-koo Kim
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight
And told me it was him"
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back

[Chorus]
So hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early, hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini's fightin' Bobby Chacon
