Lyrics

Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
  
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini  
A lightweight contender, like father like son  
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas  
And he put him away in round number one  
  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
  
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating  
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring  
Some have the speed and the right combinations  
If you can't take the punches, it don't mean a thing  
  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
  
When they asked him who was responsible  
For the death of do Koo Kim  
He said, "Some one should have stopped the fight  
And told me it was him."  
  
They made hypocrite judgements after the fact  
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back  
  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon  
Hurry home early hurry on home  
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
