Title:Big Strong Man (Traditional (arr. by Beatnik Turtle Music/Owens))
Related:Irish Songs, RPM Challenge Songs
Lyrics:
Have you heard about the big strong man? He rolls in a custom van Have you heard about the Tyson fight? Oh, Lord what a hell of a fight
You can take all the heavyweights you’ve got We’ve got a lad who can beat the whole lot He used to work here as a doorman Now he’s gonna fight George Forman
He's my brother Sylvest (what’s he got?) A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!) He killed fifty bad men in the west He knows no rest Think of a man Hells’ 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'd sink a battleship (big ship!) It takes all the Army and the Navy To knock the wind out of Sylvest Now he thought he’d take a trip to Italy He thought that he’d go by sea He dove off the harbor in New York And swam like a goddamn shark He saw the Lusitania in distress (what he do?) He put the Lusitania on his chest (big chest!) He drank all the water in the sea And he walked all the way to Italy
That was my brother Sylvest (what’s he got?) A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!) He killed fifty bad men in the west He knows no rest Think of a man Hells’ 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'd sink a battleship (big ship!) It takes all the Army and the Navy To knock the wind out of Sylvest
He thought he'd take a trip to old Japan They brought out a big ass band You can take all of the instruments you’ve got We got a lad that can play the whole lot And the old church bells will ring (hells bells!) The old church choir will sing (hells fire!) They all came to see the custom van Driven by the big strong man
Who my brother Sylvest (what’s he got?) A row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!) He killed fifty bad men in the west He knows no rest Think of a man Hells’ 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'd sink a battleship (big ship!) It takes all the Army and the Navy To knock the wind out of Sylvest

This song, also from our album Sham Rock which we completed for the 2008 RPM Challenge, is another traditional Irish song unlikely to be similar to ANY version previously recorded.
