    作曲 : Mark Knopfler
    So many mouths to feed on the farm

    Sonny was the second to the last one born

    His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad

    And he grew up wild good love he never had
    He had a left like Henry's hammer

    A right like Betty Bamalam

    Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers went down like lead

    Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans

    But he had dynamite in both his hands

    Boom bam like the slammer door

    The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor
    Beware

    The bear's in town
    Somebody's money says
    The bear's going down

    Yeah
    The bear never smiles

    Sonny's going down for miles and miles

    Sonny's going down for miles and miles

    Yeah

    The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks

    With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks

    They didn't want to have a bogey man

    They didn't like him and he didn't like them

    Black Cadillac

    Alligator boots
    Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits
    Some say

    The bear took a flop

    They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop
    He had a left like Henry's hammer

    A right like Betty Bamalam

    Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers went down like lead

    Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same

    But a criminal child wears a ball and chain

    So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne

    And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone
    Beware

    The Bear's in town

    Somebody's money says
    The Bear's going down
    Yeah

    The Bear never smiles
    Sonny's going down for miles and miles

    Sonny's going down for miles and miles

    Oh yeah

    At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor

    There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer

    There was no investigation as such

    He hated needles but he knew too much

    Criss
    Crossed
    On his back

    Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks
    The second last child was the second last king
    Never again was it the same in the ring
    He had a left like Henry's hammer

    A right like Betty Bamalam

    Rode with the muggers
    In the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers went down like lead

    Yeah

    They never could be sure about the day he was born

    A motherless child set to working on the farm

    And they never could be sure about the day he died

    The Bear was the king they cast aside beware

    The Bear's in town
    Somebody's money says
    The Bear's going down
    Yeah
    The Bear never smiles

    Sonny's going down for miles and miles

    Sonny's going down for miles and miles
