tap out

time out

type out

white out

what ever

i'm hitting the mat

i can't breath

i can't see

i can't feel

i can't be

i'm hitting the mat

flat out

clapped out

oh that doubt

whatareyatalkinabout?

(thanks Sassy!)

i'm hitting the mat

this slap shot made for TV hot shot

got me one with the lot

got with me with a zinger

a real head ringer

i'm hitting the mat

and then another

in the kisser

and then one more

aint this a pisser

i'm hitting the mat

my legs are jelly

my throats in my belly

i can hardly, can barely

keep my gloves up

i'm hitting the mat

phosphenes flitter

in my dimming light

a sudden stunning blow

to the ribs

hastens the end of my fight

i'm hitting the mat

i fall to one knee

time slows to a crawl

as both my opponent

and the ref step in

bring on the bell

before i

hit the mat
