Текст песни The Big Strong Man

Have you heard about the big strong man

He lives in a caravan

Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight

Well oh what a hell of a fight

You can take all the heavyweights you got

We have a lad who could beat the whole lot

He used to ring the bells in the belfry

Now he's gonna fight Jack Dempsey

(Chorus)

'Twas my brother Sylvest (What's he got?)

Oh a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest)

He killed fifty bad men in the west

He knows no rest

Think of the man, hell's fire don't push (just shove)

Plenty of room for you and me

He's got an arm like a leg

And a punch that would sink a battle ship (big ship! )

It takes all the army and the navy

He thought he'd take a trip to Italy

He thought that he'd go by sea

He dived off the harbour in New York

And he swam like a man made of cork

Now he saw the Lusitania in distress

He put the Lusitania on his chest

He drank all the water in the sea

And he walked all the way to Italy

(Chorus)

He thought he'd take a trip to old Japan

So they brought out the whole brass band

He played every instrument they'd got what a lad

Sure he played the whole lot

Well the old church bells did ring

The old church choir did sing

They all turned out to bid farewell

To my brother Sylvest

(Chorus)
