" THE MIGHTY ATOM"
THE MIGHTY ATOM JOE GREENSTEIN CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN
I MET HIM AT THE MARKET PLACE IN MY HOME CITY
WHERE HE AND ANOTHER STRONGMAN
SAILOR JIM WHITE WERE GIVING THEIR SPIEL
KEPT MY EYES ON BOTH
JIM'S WHITENESS CHATTERS
WHEN ATOM IS BENDING BARS
TWISTING HORSESHOES
AND BITING THROUGH SPIKES AND CHAINS
THE MIGHTY ATOM
THE HUGE ATOM
ONE EYE ACHING
SEVENTY DEVILS
IN HIS JAWS
A HIGH WAVE
TO WASH HIM FROM A SCALDING GRAVE
SAILOR JIM PROVIDED THE APPLAUSE
MET ONCE HUNTING
SAID HE COULD BITE THROUGH ANY SPIKE I COULD PRODUCE
SO I GAVE HIM TEN 16 PENNEY
THE FIRST ONE TOOK LONGER
SAID IT TAKES ONE TO NUMB HIS TEETH AND GUMS
THEN HE COULD APPLY REAL PRESSURE
SAILOR JIM AGREED
SAID ATOM CAN CHEW STEEL
THE MIGHTY ATOM
HE YET A REIN-MANN
CHAINS AND SPIKES
A SEVEN COURSE MEAL
WHEN HE WAS 85
HE BIT HIS LAST NAIL
AND ITS ON DISPLAY
IN THE YORK WEIGHT LIFTERS HALL OF FAME
THE MIGHTY ATOM AND SAILOR JIM
NEVER GRUBBIN' ANY MONEY OR SIN
TWO STAR-K-MEN WHO MADE THEIR PLAY
THE LAST BITTEN NAIL IS ON DISPLAY
