The Intro Lyrics

In the distance you can hear
the sound of the cheer
and the laugh and the roar of the crowd
You can feel the expectation,
and the wild jubilation
and the shouting the winners names aloud
'Cos it's the greatest game in town,
and it's the craziest fun around.
It's a Knockout! -- that's the name,
It's a Knockout! -- that's the game,
It's a Knockout! -- that's the name of the game!
