I'm a lean mean fighting machine powerful and strong like King Kong

third verse

Started having second thoughts I was scared as hell The last thing I 
         wanted was to hear them ring the bell
I mean the Russian Bear could probably tear me limb from limb
He'd probably grin be real happy with himself this is not good for my health
I'm not coming out of the dressing room to get beaten up by that goon

third pre-chorus

Go back to russia go back home Don't wanna get a broken bone
Or a lump on my head Ain't gonna hide under the bed

repeat chorus
