Big Bad John

[mjosparky 4]

The ballad of Big Bad John ... Kerry

Every mornin' on the Hill you could see him arrive
Standing six-foot-four, weighing one-twenty-five
Kinda' scrawny at the shoulders and lacking a spine
And when he spoke at all, it was mainly to whine
( Big John, Big John ) Big Bad John

Nobody seems to know what's in John's soul
His 'beliefs' are based on the latest poll
'Though he'll say what it takes to get your votes
It's the leftist agenda that he really promotes -( Big John.)

Some one said he came from Boston town
Where he joined the Navy and gained renown
'Earning' three purple hearts and one bronze star
The home folks said, "This boy will go far"
( Big John, Big John ) Big Bad John

Then came a day back in '71
When he renounced all the medals that he had won
Then turned against his country and his Navy friends
And sold them out for his own selfish ends ( Big John )

He appeared before Congress and on left-wing talk shows
Giving aid and comfort to America's foes
It was clear to see whose side he was on
Some say he helped cause the fall of Saigon - Big John
( Big John, Big John ) Big Bad John ( Big John )

He claims to be for the working poor
Yet he owns 5 mansions from shore to shore
He never had to work a day in his life
'cause he learned it helps to have a wealthy wife! - ( Big John )

Now he wants to be our next President
and Commander-in-chief of those he resents:
The American soldiers who fight and die
To give him the freedom to tell us his lies
( Big John, Big John ) Big Bad John

Thousands have sacrificed their young lives
To help ensure that our nation survives
A vote for Kerry is a slap in the face
To all the brave soldiers that he's disgraced
FADE ( Big John, Big John ) Big Bad John

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

hehe... I know the song.

don't agree with the point of the parody, but I do acknowledge the skill and cleverness that went into writing it.

#1 with Jimmy Dean in, I believe, 1960 or 61. He wrote the words and music.

Although obviously Johnny Cash did a pretty good version too.

I don't know the song, but reading it I could hear the music that might go to it, along with the marching song/distinct beat quality.

ps - funny as all get out

Sounds like something I could hear Johnny Cash singing
(stealing? pretending?)

In the music world it's called "covering".

You get permission from the songwriter (who usually agrees because for him it's free money) and then you just do it.

You got it. I listened to that song at my Grandparent's more than I should of!!! I still know all the words to the song.......the original words.

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I know what it is, I'm just not a fan of Cash. He seems like a pretender more than anything else. I'll take Merle or Hank over him any day.
