SYLVEST

Did you hear about the big strong Man who lived in the caravan

Now did you hear about the Jeffrey Johnson Fight

Where the big black native fought the white

Well you can bring all your heavyweight and all

Cos I’ve got the one to beat them all

He plays the organ in belfry and he wants to fight Jack Dempsey

                                      Chorus

Cos that’s my brother Sylvest

(WHO’S THAT) Sylvest (AND WHAT’S HE GOT)

He’s got a row of forty medals on his chest (BIG CHEST)

He killed forty natives in the west, He takes no risk

Bigger the Man – Stronger the Punch – Hell Fire Son of a Gun

Don’t Push – Don’t Shove – Plenty of Room for You and Me

He’s got an Arm like a Leg (A SOFA LEG)

And a Punch that can sink a Battleship (BIG SHIP)

It take’s all the Army and the Navy to put the wind up Sylvest

Now he thought he’d take a trip to Italy but he had no money don’t you see

So he dived off the harbour at New York and he swam like a man made of cork

Well he saw the Lusetania in distress (SO WHAT’D HE DO)

He swallowed all the water in the Sea (BIG SWALLOW)

He put the Lusetania on his chest (BIG CHEST)

And he ran all the way to Italy

Chorus

Now He thought he’d take a trip to old Japan

So they brought out the big brass band

He blew every Instrument they’d got and F****d up the whole darn lot

Chorus
