my uniform has been decreed

she’s a daughter of the gods , got a lot of clout
if she’s ever in a bind , i’ll get her out
and sometimes i have these nightmares , in the middle of the day
where a hay – makin’ gypsy steals her away

there ain’t no doubt about it
i’m a slave to her shade of love
one day her majesty the queen , unprovoked and unforeseen
is gonna fly her over to england , put that sword on her shoulder ,
and knight her!

i’m gonna be her prize fighter
no label’s gonna change where she’s from
i’m gonna be her prize fighter
and i’m dancin’ to the beat of her drum

she’s always on my side , rich or poor
and she’s with me all the way to the golden door
my lioness , my piece de resistance
my only way

i’m gonna drive me an el dorado
the colour of her marbly eyes
with twin bullet tail lights
and plates that we desire

i’m gonna be her prize fighter
though the weather may be foul
i’m gonna be her prize fighter
though the wind and the wolves may howl

( prize fighter )
through the sunshine , through the rain
i’m gonna be her prize fighter
over and over again
