(lyrics by Paul Williams; music by Charles Fox, 1977)

From the album ONE ON ONE (1977)

Pull the stops out, watch my hustle
Would you believe I was once a [?]
Would you believe I was even as shy as a child
It's so hard for the mind to fathom, so don't try

I feel like tripping the light fantastic I've never been more enthusiastic
My mind [?]
I'm a stone gladiator on a mood elevator In the thick of the fight, I just smile
Pull the stops out, watch my hustle
(repeat)
