MUHAMMAD ALI - THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Words & Music by Greg Trooper [c] 2003 Songs of Welk/ BMI. Admin. by Yak Yak Music. All Rights Reserved. Used by Permission

   I saw Muhammad Ali
   Talking to me
   From the TV
   Teaching me the meaning of
   Christmas

   Float like a butterfly
   Sting like a bee
   How could this be
   Him teaching me the meaning of
   Christmas

   CHORUS:

   His hands were shaking
   His knees were weak
   But listen when this old warrior
   speaks
   "I am the greatest," he said
   with a grin
   But he was talking about You
   Not about him
   And was teaching me the
   meaning of Christmas

   I remember they called him a clown
   Then Sonny went down
   In no more than six rounds
   And he was teaching us all a new
   day was coming

   I remember this Louisville kid
   Wouldn't do what they said
   He found his own god instead
   And was teaching us all the
   meaning of Christmas

   CHORUS 2:

   Now his hands are shaking
   And his knees are weak
   But listen when this old warrior
   speaks
   "I am the greatest," he says
   with a grin
   But he's talking about You
   Not about him
   And he's teaching me the
   meaning of Christmas

   There are kings in the east
   Kings in the west
   Kings all around
   But not every king knows the
   meaning of Christmas
