Do I think you can beat my ass, hell no
Do I think I can beat your ass, why hell yeah
Body Slam
Get in the ring ya'll
My special move will put you out for the fight ya'll
You'll feel what I say
I'll slam you down to the ground if you get in my way
Rowdy Roddy Piper once told me to say
That the only move you'll ever need to master to play
It's better than the suplex, elbow or chair
Off the top rope don't begin to compare
The piledriver kills but you're not dead
The head butt hurts but it's only your head
The figure four will take you out from beneath your legs
But the only move thats most approved to
to take you down straight to the ground is the
Body Slam
Get in the ring ya'll
My special move will put you out for the fight ya'll
Body Slam
You'll feel what I say
I'll slam you down to the ground if you get in my way
That's right
It's time to kill off the battle
No more Mr. Nice Guy
Get ready
Six foot eight
One ninety
This white boy's gonna go high
Body Slam
Get in the ring ya'll
My special move will put you out for the fight ya'll
Body Slam
You'll feel what I say
I'll slam you down to the ground if you get in my way
What's it gonna be, I wanna bodyslam
Don't turn your back to me, you'll get a bodyslam
The special move for me is the bodyslam
Get in the ring, you're gonna scream
What's it gonna be, I wanna bodyslam
