Big Strong Man

Big Strong Man

Have you heard about the big strong man 
He lived in a caravan 
Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight 
Oh lord what a [bad word] of a fight 
You can take all the heavyweights you got (Cause you got!) 
You got a lad that can beat the whole lot (Whole lot!) 
He use to play all the bells in the belfry, 
Now he's going to fight Jack Dempsey.

 [bad word]  
Thats my brother Sylvest (What's he got?) 
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!) 
He killed fifty capmen in the West, 
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire 
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me 
He's got an arm like a leg, 
And a fist that would sink a battle ship (Big ship!) 
Takes all the Army and the Navy 
To put the wind up Sylvest

He thought he'd take a trip to Italy 
He thought that he'd go by sea, 
He dived off the harbor at New York 
And he swam like a man from cork 
He saw the Lusitania in distress (What did he do?) 
Put the big ship Lusitania on his chest (Big chest!) 
He drank all the water in the sea 
And he walked all the way to Italy.

Repeat [bad word] 

He thought he'd take a trip to old Japan. 
They brought out the whole brass band. 
He played every [bad word] they got 
what a lad he played the whole lot. 
The old church bell will ring (will ring) 
The old Church choir did sing. (will sing) 
They all turned out to wish him best 
My big brother, Sylvest.

Repeat [bad word] 

Yeah, thats my brother Sylvest 
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!) 
He killed fifty capmen in the West, 
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire 
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me
