Like A Butterfly

I was shadow-boxing earlier in the day
I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
I said "Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay here I come
26, 27, 28, 29, I'm gonna make your face look just like mine
Five, four, three, two, one, Cassius Clay you'd better run
99, 100, 101, 102, your ma won't even recognize you
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen.


Bob Dylan's tribute to another champion scarred by his sport. To be honest, I wouldn't have fancied Dylan's chances back then, and I still wouldn't fancy them now.
