We went to the youth club and we looked out of place
I didn't know where to look
So I, looked at your face
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling.
You didn't give me a chance,
You gave me a beating.
And I thank you very much that you did

And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble,
Before I could realise my age had doubled.
The man I became is a tragic bore,
And he's not a boxing champ anymore
If there's one thing i've learnt it's to run away
At least I enjoy what I do today
And I thank you very much that I do
