Verse 1
G
Have you heard about the big strong man;
D
He lives in a caravan
D7
Have you heard about the Jeffery Johnson fight;
oh what a hell of a fight
G D
You can take all the heavyweights you got;
we got a lad who can beat the whole lot
G
He used to ring the bells in the bellfry;
now he's gonna fight Jack Dempsey
G
He was me brother Sylvest (whats he got)
D
a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest)
G
He killed fifty bad men in the west he knows no rest
think of the man hell's fire don't push just shove plenty of room for you and me.
G
He's got an arm, like a leg (a ladys leg)
D
and a punch that would sink a battle ship (big ship)
G
it takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up Sylvest
Verse 2
He thought he'd take a trip to Italy;
he thought that he'd go by sea.
He hoped off the harbour in New York;
he swan like a man-made cork
He saw the Lusitania is distress; (What he do)
Put the Lusitania on his chest,
He drank all the water in the sea;
Then he walked all the way to Italy.
Chorus...

Verse 3
He thought he'd take a trip to old Japan;
They turned out the whole brass band
He played every instrument they'd got;
Like a lad sure he beat the whole lot.
Now the old church bells will ring (hells bells);
The old church choir will sing (hells choir)
They all turned out to say farewell,
To my big brother Sylvest.
