Lyrics of Patriotic - Rocky Broadway Cast Recording by Rocky Broadway Cast
Listen up people
Apollo is having a vision
I see a lifesize Lady Liberty
You diggin′ it? (We're diggin′ it)
I see an Uncle Sam, and he's Black like me
Are you diggin' it? (I′m... digging it?)
We find a white local fighter and I′ll be all his
If that ain't American, what is?
Red, white and blue and doin′ biz
Patriotic
(Patriotic)
I see "Apollo" shirts and baseball caps
You diggin' it?
We′re diggin' it
And there′ll be bumper stickers for the hometown saps
Are you diggin' it? Diggin' it!
I′m seeing star-spangled banners and my girls in tights
Sequins and fireworks and hot lights
A first in the history of fights
Patriotic! (Patriotic)
This fight should′ve put me right up with the best
Joe Louis, and Frasier, and all of the rest
I ain't gettin′ younger, ain't got the time
To fight some bum who′s past his prime
But we got the venue
We got the bout
And your damned opponent is chickenin' out
The fight is on no matter what
Now who the hell in Philly do we got?
Billy Snow?
Rhymes with no
Big Chuck Krull?
Too old, too dull
Dipper Reilly′s ideal
Dipper? Get real
But here we got a name with some poster appeal
The Italian Stallion
Wrap it in a flag, make the people scream
Someone'll be getting the American dream
Mr. Down and Out versus Mr. Slick
It's gonna be patriotic
I didn′t get to where I got to by being dumb
Rocky Balboa, here I come
Ha!
That′s patriotic! (Patriotic)
Patriotic (patriotic)
Patriotic
Ooh
Apollo Creed meets the Italian Stallion
Shit! Sounds like a damn monster movie!
Uh-huh
