Joe Louis' Furniture
Lyrics
I've got a coffee table Made of mahogany With cigarette burns And water rings But that don't bother me I bought it at an auction Ten years ago I put my feet up on it And watch the fights on HBO Float like a butterfly Sting like a bee I am the greatest Said Muhammad Ali Oh, but I've got Joe Louis' Furniture in my den Twelve years running world Heavyweight champion And in my book well He's the best There's ever been And you can't take That away from him He came from Alabama He didn't come from much He fought his way up To the top Then lost his money To the government So here I sit In his old chair Something about this Don't seem fair Now I've worked hard All my life With nothing To show for it But a poor man's pride
