  E    G F♯ D C♯ C   A  x 2

Now I wanna wrestle, in the garden, I'm on my way to stardom           (basse)
I know I'm ready, I know I'm great, but first I’ve got to get in shape

Gotta get myself, to the gym, and start working
Start lifting those weights, in the air, gonna be a bad guy, and fight unfair

B
Got my eyes on the Russian Bear
         D            A
Going to tear him up,   I swear
     B
This guy, thinks he's a champion
      D
Gonna take his belt and beat him

  I'm the Crusher           king of the Ring  x 2

I'm ready for a match with the Russian Bear, going to pile drive him, pull his hair
I might have a foreign object in my trunks, I might have to use, on that punk

He starts singing, the Russian anthem, I’m gonna jump him
Before the bell rings, 'cos people are cheering for Dee Dee King

Got the hardest hold you can put on anyone
If you're my victim you're beaten
I'm a lean, mean, fighting machine
Powerful and strong like King, Kong

  I'm the crusher, king of the ring  x 2

Started having second thoughts I was scared as hell,
                             the last thing I wanted was to hear them ring the bell
I mean the Russian Bear, could probably tear, me, limb from limb

He'd probably grin be real happy with himself, this is not good, for my health
I'm not coming out of the dressing room, and get beaten up, by that goon

Go back to Russia, go back home
Don't want to get a broken bone
Or a lump on my head
Ain't gonna hide, under the bed

  I'm the crusher, king of the ring  x 4

Got butterflies and, a headache, my knees are shaken, turned to creamed cake      [en F♯]
I mean the Russian bear is seven foot three, the look on his face, is real crazy

How did I get myself into jam? I was much better off singing Funky Man
Got this muddy idea, in my head, thank god I’m wearing Keds

'Cos they are my running shoes
If I fight this match I know I’ll lose
I'll melt like an ice cube in the sun
Now I'm done with wrestling

  I'm the crusher, king of the ring  x 4

  I'm the crusher  x 4

  I'm the crusherrrrrrrrr
