The Big, Strong Man
Darby O'Gill

Have you heard about the big, strong man? (What man?)

He lives in a caravan (Caravan?)

Have you heard about the Jefferies-Johnson fight

Oh Lord, what a hell of a night


You can take all the heavyweights you got (What you got?)

We’ve got a man who can beat the whole lot (Whole lot?)

He used to work here as a doorman

Now he’s goin’ to fight George Foreman


That’s me brother, Sylvest’ (What’s he got?)

He’s got a row of forty medals on his chest (Big Chest!)

He killed fifty vermin in the west

He knows no rest


Hell of a man (Hell’s fire!)

Don’t push (Just shove)

Plenty room for you and me


He’s got an arm like a leg (Ladies’ leg)

And a punch that could sink a battleship (Bullshit!)

1: It takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up Sylvest’

2: It takes all the army and the navy to knock the block off Sylvest’

3: It takes all the army and the navy to take the bra off Mae West



He thought that he’d go to Italy (Italy?)

And he thought that he’d go by sea (I see)

So he jumped off the harbor in New York

And he swam like a man o’ Cork


He saw the Lusitania in distress (What’d he do?)

He put the Lusitania on his chest (Big Chest!)

Then he drank all the water in the sea

And he walked all the way to Italy


He thought that he’d go to old Japan (Old Japan)

So they brought out the whole brass band (Brass band)

He played every instrument they got

Like a lad he beat the whole lot


The old church choir did sing (Sing song)

And the old church bells did ring (Ding dong)

And they all turned out to say farewell

To my big brother, Sylvest’
