Paul Revere and the Raiders
Big Boy Pete
[Intro]
Alright
Here's a song about the meanest cat that ever did walk the street, yeah
Big Boy Pete
[Verse 1]
Wow, joint was jumpin' on the corner
Down on Honky Tonk Street
All of a sudden up pulled a Cadillac
Out stepped a cat named Pete
[Verse 2]
Diamonds on every finger
He wore a tailor-made suit
Smoked a black cigar, he wore a Stetson hat
Wore a pair of cowboy boots
[Verse 3]
Busted on through the doorway
Bad as he could be
Pulled out a pistol, turned around
Said, "My name is Big Boy Pete"
[Bridge 1]
The music stopped
There was no sound
Over in a corner stood
Bad Man Brown
Brown smiled and grinned
He said, "My friend
Take three steps further
I'll do you in"
[Verse 4]
Pete said, "Look here, buddy
'Fore I tan your hide
I got a big .45 to keep me alive
Seven bullets on my side"
[Bridge 2]
Brown pulled a knife
He jumped on Pete
They fought from counter be there
Out to the street
They swung from north
Swung from south
Brown cut the black cigar
Right out of his Pete's mouth
Pete hit the ground
Yelled and screamed
Picked up his Stetson hat
And flee the scene
[Verse 5]
If you're ever down on the corner
Down on Honky Tonk Street
Don't mess around, cut you down
Take a lesson from Big Boy Pete
[Outro]
Doot, doo-doo, doot-doot, doo-doo
Doot, doo-doo, doot-doot, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doot
Doo-doo-doo-doot
Doot, doo-doo-doo-doo, doot
Doot, doo-doo, doot-doot, doo-doo
Doot, doo-doo, doot-doot, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doot
Doo-doo-doo-doot
Doot, doo-doo-doo-doo, doot
Fine!
