Shavers jumped off the table and yelled, "Champion of the world."
Maybe tonight Shavers will take the mountain from Muhammad Ali.
Gonna clip the wings of the butterfly,
Gonna take the sting from the bee.
The crowd will stand and cheer with glee

Cause they'll count ten over Muhammad Ali.
September 29th the Garden crowd will roar,
Jolting punches will have Ali on the floor.
In Round Number Seven the tension will mount,
Ali will be down while the referee will count,
There'll be a new champion, that's plain to see --
Earnie Shavers by a knockout over Muhammad Ali! -- Earnie Shavers
