POW-WOW
aka POW BOOM BOOM BOOM WOW

You really want that crown?
Well, let's see if you have what it takes
To be a champion ...in the ring

Verse 1
POW-WOW is a work-it-out, for two opposing hearts
Battling for glory, in the ring of noble art
POW is the power, more special than the rest
WOW screams the crowd, as POW lands right and left

Say float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
When Ali threw THE POW, the crowd screamed WOW
Let's do it like The Champ, let's do the POW-WOW
