[Verse 1]
Bad news is come to town
He's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found

[Verse 2]
Bad news is fighting mad
'Cause he went and lost the biggest prize he ever had
And a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights
And laughs, taking big life bites again and again

[Saxophone, Trombone and Guitar Solos]

[Verse 1]
Bad news is come to town
He's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found

[Verse 2]
Bad news is fighting mad
He went and lost the biggest prize he ever had
And a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights
And laughs, taking big life bites again and again
[Saxophone Solo]
