Trouble all around you
And you're caught in a jam
Call and he'lle runnin'
He's the best in the land
Fightin' man, hey, hey, fightin' man

Just to lend you a hand
Takin' care of business now
Like nobody can
Fightin' man, fightin' man, fightin' man

Yeah you can bet when the fight is set
Think you've seen 'em all
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Swingin' to the left, swingin' to the right
Fight (Like a lion) Fight (Like a dragon)
Fight (Like a tiger) Fight (Like a champion)
Stand back now and give him some room

Never find him hidin'
With his head in the sand
Maybe that's the reason
He's so much in demand
Fightin' man, fightin' man, fightin' man

Back up in the alley
He'll be makin' a stand
Watch the punches fly
Just like a hurricane
Fightin' man, hey, hey, fightin' man

Givin' you the story I won't tell you again
Pushin'e to shove He's Goin' down like a champ
Fightin' man, fightin' man, fightin' man

Yeah you can bet when the fight is set
Think you've seen 'em all
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Swingin' to the left, swingin' to the right
Fight (Like a lion) Fight (Like a dragon)
Fight (Like a tiger) Fight (Like a champion)
Stand back now and give him some room

Soon thepetition finds it's out of their hands
Don't know who they're messin' with
They don't understand
Fightin' man, fightin' man, fightin' man

Never find him hidin'
With his head in the sand
Maybe that's the reason




He's so much in demand
Fightin' man, fightin' man, fightin' man
