Well I went out for my evenin' stroll
All along the boulevard
It's familiar turf, from the hills
To the surf
I treat it like my front yard
Well I right away ran into
A girl I know.
She said "you gotta come with
Me tonight, the word
Is out that the underdog
And the monkey gonna finally fight."
Been fightin'...fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.
Now I'm not what you'd call
A violent man.
But the news brought a smile
To my face.
Cause the underdog is a
Friend of mine.
I'd love to see him
Put that monkey in his place.
You may think I'm crazy
The odds are against the dog
You understand;
This monkey is as strong as
A gorilla.
He'd stretch a tire like
A rubber band.
But I've been fightin'...fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.
Now, he's sneaky
And he'll smile
Right at you, pretend
To like your boots
And all the while,
He'd be thinking
How to rip your soul
Out by the roots.
When we got there
My old underdog.
He didn't really look too goo, no
But when his eyes met mine
And he said
"I'll kick his ass."
And I knew right then he would
I've been fightin'
I've been fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.
Well now I don't want
To bore you.
With a bunch of dialogue.
It's not how much dog
Is in the fight
It's how much fight
Is in the dog.
And I've been fightin'...oh fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...yeah fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.
I've been fightin'...oh fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...yeah fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.
I've been fightin'...oh fightin'
Fightin' just to stay alive
I've been fightin'...yeah fightin'
Fightin' to get from
Four o'clock to five.

David Van Cortlandt Crosby (Los Angeles, August 14, 1941 – Santa Monica, January 18, 2023) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Considered one of the pillars of American folk-rock music, Crosby achieved international fame as a founding member of The Byrds in the 1960s, a group that helped define the sound of folk rock with hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)". After his time with The Byrds, Crosby formed a successful duo with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, known as Crosby, Stills and Nash. The trio released some of the most influential folk-rock albums of the 1970s, including "Déjà Vu" (1970) and "4 Way Street" (1971), characterized by impeccable vocal harmonies and introspective lyrics. Crosby continued to record music solo and with various musical formations until the end of his career, leaving a significant legacy in the history of American music.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
