You're the fighter you've got the fire The spirit of a warrior, the champion's heart You fight for your life because the fighter never quits You make the most of the hand you're dealt Because the quitter never wins No!
You were born to box in a city that's seen their share Mello, Ryan, Carney, among them your photo proudly hangs there Above the bar in the Gaelic Club They tell the story of a throwback With the heart of a lion They salute your glory
It's another murderous night Another left hook from hell A bloody war on the boardwalk And the kid from Lowell rises to the bell
CHORUS: Micky It's a warrior's code Micky He's got the warrior's soul
