Good
afternoon, ladies and gentleman. This is Howard
Cosell, live from the Astrodome. It's September
20, 1973, the day we've all been waiting
for.
First
up, a man who needs no introduction...Bobby
Riggs!
His
opponent...she was selected as Outstanding
Female Athlete of the World. Sports Illustrated
named her Sportsman of the Year. We can summarize
Billie Jean King's career in one
word...DOMINATION!
So
much more than a tennis match
40
million tune in to catch
Live
from Houston, Texas
It’s
the Battle of the Sexes
The
Battle of the Sexes
Focus!
I know I can beat this man
There’s
a fire in his eyes from the back line
Patience!
Watch his forehand
There’s
a rhythm in his game yeah there’s a rhyme
So
much more than a tennis match
40
million tune in to catch
Live
from Houston, Texas
It’s
the Battle of the Sexes
The
Battle of the Sexes
Work
it! Concentration!
Ignore
the cheering crowds, girl, you can win this game
Every
swing is your creation
If
you win, tennis will never be the same!
So
much more than a tennis match
40
million tune in to catch
Live
from Houston, Texas
It’s
the Battle of the Sexes
The
Battle of the Sexes
BJK,
she’s our girl
Bobby
Riggs’ is gonna take a whirl
Bobby,
man let’s go to town
Billie
Jean, she’s goin’ down
Women
can’t volley at the net
Women
can’t volley at the net
Women
can’t volley at the net
Women
can’t volley at the net
Bobby,
thinks I can’t volley at the next.
Just
wait ‘til he finds out that that’s the think
I do best
Unbelievable,
ladies and gentlemen, the day belongs to Billie
Jean King!
So
much more than a tennis match
40
million tune in to catch
Live
from Houston, Texas
It’s
the Battle of the Sexes
The
Battle of the Sexes
