歌曲歌詞
So many mouths to feed on the farm
Sonny was the second
to the last one born
His mama ran away
and his daddy beat him bad
And he grew up
wild good love he never had
He had a left like Henry hammer
A right like Betty Bamalam
Rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
And all them sluggers
went down like lead
Well he hung with the hoods
he wouldn stroke the fans
But he had dynamite in both his hands
Boom bam like the slammer door
The bell and the can and
the bodies on the floor
Beware the bear in town
Somebody money says
the bear going down
Yeah the bear never smiles
Sonny going down for miles and miles
Sonny going down for miles and miles
The writers didn like him
the fight game jocks
With his lowlife backers
and his hands like rocks
They didn want to have a bogey man
They didn like him
and he didn like them
Black Cadillac alligator boots
Money in the pockets of
his sharkskin suits
Some say the bear took a flop
They couldn believe it
when they saw him drop
He had a left like Henry hammer
A right like Betty Bamalam
Rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
And all them sluggers
went down like lead
Joe Louis was his hero
he tried to be the same
But a criminal child
wears a ball and chain
So the civil rights people
didn want him on the throne
And the hacks and the cops
wouldn leave him alone
Beware the bear in town
somebody money says
The bear going down
Yeah the bear never smiles
Sonny going down for miles and miles
Sonny going down for miles and miles
At the foot of his bed
with his feet on the floor
There was dope in his veins
and a pistol on the drawer
There was no investigation as such
He hated needles but he knew too much
