Here’s another case of hard to find lyrics for a Fatboy Slim song. Previously I had transcribed the lyrics for the Fatboy Slim version of The Joker<\/a> because the lyrics sites had just copied over the lyrics for the original version which was quite incomplete. <\/p>\n

On the “Why Try Harder” album there are two new songs, “Champion Sound” and “That Old Pair of Jeans”. There’s acceptable lyrics available on line for the latter, but I couldn’t find any lyrics at all for “Champion Sound”. My CD’s liner notes has lyrics for it (in English and Japanese!) but only the first eight lines of it.<\/p>\n

Here is my work in progress for the lyrics to “Champion Sound”. I’m pretty sure it’s at least 90% correct. Suggestions welcome!<\/p>\n

\nNeed it when they hear the champion: “Watch Out!”<\/p>\n

We’ve made tragedy, ripped up sporadically and (4X)<\/p>\n

Gimme ride at the party with the bump full of Pearl (3X)<\/p>\n

You can’t remain hit and we detect your identity<\/p>\n

\nLove it when they hear the champion sound

And then whoever try to disrespect a mighty good time
\nOr a mighty good rhyme with a fight for the mind
\nPresent at time or let me line flex
\nListen and rewind it rebel pirates band at highest<\/p>\n

Try this skit trampled by the stampeding feet of the fans
\nin the crowd screaming: “Yo, that’s Lateef! MaROON!”
\nThat boy Slim on the tune
\nRally round it if you’re strong
\nThrow your arms to the moon, c’mon<\/p>\n
