I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

You may be tough, but you’ll never knock him down

He is a towering god but not our sacred cow

He maybe caught, but never on the ropes

He is a diamond cut for every man poor man’s hope

ah He was always there to meet ye he’s the champion of the people

The first and last name ever to this day

Come gather yourself, Drink to your health

It’s the one thing that money can’t buy

but remember the loss, to the loved ones we all leave behind

So pass the glass the over, Sullivan just ordered, the glory days have returned

and let’s live the good life, until the last goodbye

O OoOoO, O OoOoO
