Theme from Rocky XIII (The Rye or the Kaiser) Lyrics
Fat and weak, what a disgrace.
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space.
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
But he's no bum, he works down the street.
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat.
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say
Try the rye or the kaiser,
They're on special tonight.
If you want, you can have an appetizer.
You might like our salami, and the liver's all right.
And they'd really go well with the rye,
Or the kaiser.
Never eats while on the job.
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob.
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.
Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white.
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer.
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight.
But you just can't go wrong with the rye,
Or the kaiser.
So today, his deli comes first.
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
All the while you can still hear him say
It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite.
Let me please be your catering adviser.
If you want substitutions, I won't put up a fight.
You can have your roast beef on the rye,
Or the kaiser.
The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space.
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat.
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say
They're on special tonight.
If you want, you can have an appetizer.
You might like our salami, and the liver's all right.
And they'd really go well with the rye,
Or the kaiser.
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob.
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer.
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight.
But you just can't go wrong with the rye,
Or the kaiser.
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
All the while you can still hear him say
Let me please be your catering adviser.
If you want substitutions, I won't put up a fight.
You can have your roast beef on the rye,
Or the kaiser.
The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser

parody of "Eye of the Tiger"
great parady or eye of the tiger. Just for the record the song is actually called "The Rye and the Kaiser". Its on his new album
uhm... just to demau senae isnt it kinda obvious???
Im not sure if its Theme From Rocky XIII or The Rye and the Kaiser..... a little help please?!? Good song
the songs called The Rye or the Kaiser...
On the "Best Of" compilation where it showed, it was titled, "Theme to Rocky XIII," which pokes fun at the fact that Rocky had 6 continuous movies where the exact same thing happened.
The song first appeared on the In-3D album in 1984, where it was entitled "Theme From Rocky XIII (Rye or the Kaiser)".
I cant stop laffing at the parody. One of my favourites from Weird Al. Absolute genius.
