Original Broadway Cast Recording – In This Corner

Oy, looks like there’s gonna be trouble. Wooey, he don’t know who he’s messin with, uh ah. Ladies, gentlemen, and those who’ve yet to make up your minds

In this corner, leanin brown, weighin in a golem made gown. In this corner, here tonight, in the cradle of the bright white lights

Hit em in his big one, hit him in is insecurities, yeah. Hit em off his high horse, hit em so everyone can see, yeah

Who do you think you are comin round town lookin like a penny sardine on a five star flight? You better watch your back

In this corner, heavyweight, breathin heavy like a buttermilk cake. Can’t no real man ever confess he was beaten by a guy in a dress
Hit em in the lipstick, hit em in his fake commitment, see yeah. Hit him off his high heel, hit em in the cheek, and send him back to London town. Sequent freak. Oh, you’re gonna get slapped, slapped, slapped

Alright, alright, alright, listen up you two. I want a clean, fair, but artfully performed fight. I don’t wanna see any blows below the belt or any hairs out of place. Oo, hang on darling, you have some lipstick on your teeth. Alright then, get to your corners and come out fighting
He ain’t have the man donners. Eh, you can say that again

In this corner, what a crawl, take him down and make us ladies proud. In this corner, throwing names, shut her up so we can shut her shame. Round one
Hit em in his big one, hit him in is insecurities, yeah. Hit em off his high horse, hit em so everyone can see, oo yeah

Back to your corners, you beasts. Care for a grasshopper darling? It’ll keep you bouncing. If you finish em off fast we can still see Kinshi at the Koreans

So you got a good shot, but don’t get cocky. I am pity as Ali and tough as Rocky. If you lucky I might let you off easy. Don’t you know I get excited when you tease me. What’s the matter darling? You look a little pale. I feel like a hammer. I feel like the nail. Come one don up and let me through. Here comes an uppercut, a left hook, and a pirouette too. Round two

Hit em in his big one, hit him in is insecurities, yeah. Hit em off his high horse, hit em so everyone can, everyone can, everyone can
