about

Geoff Childs had these dusty old boxing gloves in his basement. We gathered all the kids from the neighborhood and set up a boxing tournament in my parents backyard. We cut a title belt out of cardboard for the assuming champion. So many concussions. That shit would never fly today.

lyrics

Two pairs of basement boxing gloves
in my backyard
a ring made from hockey skate string in my backyard
kids from up and down the block
working oh so hard
kids form up and down the block
getting knocked
getting knocked out so hard

Cardboard Champion
that's what they wanna be
Cardboard Champion Belt
that's what they wanna win

Ah go on and knock him out

Grass stained elbows knees and feet
in my backyard
it comes down to just one kid to beat
in my backyard
he's a real tough cookie form up the street
he has a left hook
that he throws oh so hard
the slim kid with the real quick feet
applies an uppercut
knocking him out so hard

Cardboard Champion
that's what they wanna be
Cardboard Champion Belt
that's what they wanna win

now go on and win it
