put your mouth where the money is

Singer:sailor

the santa rosa fair is in

with that 'iron man' mcginn

who's gonna challenge the two

the man you can't knock down

but danny becker's gonna try

for his needs are kind of high

so he's gonna take on the 'iron man' tonight

come and get your money

it's a hundred dollars a round

put your mouth where the money is tonight

lots and lots of money if you knock the champion down

put your mouth where the money is tonight

weighing in at smokey joe's

where the conversation's slow

there is 'iron man' mcginn

he's always odds on to win

he got his name in idaho

where upon a single blow

he knocked the door off the maled city jail

come and get your money

it's a hundred dollars a round

put your mouth where the money is tonight

lots and lots of money if you knock the champion down

put your mouth where the money is tonight

oh

put your mouth where the money is

oh

put your mouth where the money is

doo doo doo. but danny becker's little friend

she knew how the fight would end

so she handicapped mcginn

by slipping 'mickeys' in his gin

and so the might of 'iron man'

will rust away like iron can

for danny becker's the winner here tonight

come and get your money

it's a hundred dollars a round

put your mouth where the money is tonight

lots and lots of money if you knock the champion down

put your mouth where the money is tonight
