Big Bad John
by Poet Lariat


Big Bad John
(To the tune by Jimmy Dean of the same name)

Well, he come down here from Giant land
If you've been watching the Giants you might understand
Why a guy might want to get away
From a place where there just weren't much good to say
Big John!

 

There's folks in them hills who sez that he
Is part of an Eye-talian conspiracy
But he don't really seem to give a damn
What they think of him over in Checkerboard land
Big John!

 

(And the chorus sings;)
Big John! Big John! Big John!
Big Bad John!!!

 

Down in the land of big hair and Frito Pie
They been callin' him a  a gol-durn Yankee spy
They say he's tryin' to  prevaricate
And sweet talk their chillen right out of the state.
Big John!

 

Folks jist cain't seem to leave him alone
Seems like someone's always got to pick a Bone.
But John don't care if they call him a sinner
Cause he's finally got the chance to write up a winner!
Big John!

 

(And the chorus sings;)
Big John!  Big John! Big John!
Big Bad John!!!
