  46 I was shadow-boxing earlier in the day
  47 I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
  48 I said &quot;Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay here I come
  49 26, 27, 28, 29, I'm gonna make your face look just like mine
  50 Five, four, three, two, one, Cassius Clay you'd better run
  51 99, 100 101, 102, your ma won't even recognize you
  52 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen.
  53
  54 Well, I don't know, but I've been told
  55 The streets in heaven are lined with gold
  56 I ask you how things could get much worse
  57 If the Russians happen to get up there first
  58 Wowee! pretty scary!
  59
  60 Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree
  61 I want ev'rybody to be free
  62 But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater
  63 Move in next door and mary my daughter
  64 You must think I'm crazy!
  65 I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba.
  66
  67 Well, I set my monkey on the log
  68 And ordered him to do the Dog
  69 He wagged his tail and shook his head
  70 And he went and did the Cat instead
  71 He's a weird monkey, very funky.
  72
  73 I sat with my high-heeled sneakers on
  74 Waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun
  75 I had my white shorts rolled up past my waist
  76 And my wig-hat falling in my face
  77 But they wouldn't let me on the tennis court.
  78
  79 I gotta woman, she's so mean
  80 She sticks my boots in the washing machine
  81 Sticks me with buckshot when I'm nude
  82 Puts bubblegum in my food
  83 She's funny, wants my money, calls me honey.
  84
  85 Now I gotta friend who spends his life
  86 Stabbing my picture with a bowie-knife
  87 Dreams of strangling me with a scarf
  88 When my name comes up he pretends to barf
  89 I've got a million friends !
  90
  91 Now they asked me to read a poem
  92 At the sorority sister's home
  93 I got knocked down and my head was swimmin'
  94 I wound up with the Dean of Women
  95 Yippee ! I'm a poet, and I know it
  96 Hope I don't blow it.
  97
  98 I'm gonna grow my hair down to my feet so strange
  99 So I look like a walking mountain range
 100 And I'm gonna ride into Omaha on a horse
 101 Out to the country club and the golf course
 102 Carry the New York Times, shoot a few holes, blow their minds.
 103
 104 You're probably wondering by now
 105 Just what this song is all about
 106 What's probably got you baffled more
 107 What this thing here is for
 108 It's nothing
 109 It's something I learned over in England
