The Acorn Is Spinning

“Hey, Vinnie, I got this new fighter from the Bronx

He's a natural.”

“Oh, yeah, how?”

“He reminds me of Jake LaMotta

No, you can't lose with this one

You want a piece of the action or what?”

“Jake LaMotta,  huh?

“See if Luis wants in I'll talk to you later”

“Alright, ciao. You got it.”

-phone rings-

“Eugene's place, can I help you?”

“Hey, Eugene, this is Patsy Mitola.  Listen

I want to put five hundred on the Acorn

And, uh, Eugene, let's make sure

This guy spins in the third round

Know what I'm saying?”

“Alright I got ya.  You're in.”

“The Acorn the best there has been yet

Hold it, ladies and gentlemen!

The Acorn's spinning! He's down on the canvas!

This is the third time he's been down!

Oh my God, I don't think he's gonna get up!

Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's all over

Eight… nine… ten -- it's over!  The Acorn's lost!”

“Listen, curly, the Acorn may have lost this one

But there's gonna be a rematch

And when he comes back, he's gonna be stronger than ever

Believe me, I got a lot of faith in this kid

Man, he's from the Bronx, the best.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
