Can any atlasian give me the lyrics of "Big bad John" but....

[big bad fab]

.... in its Cornyn version.

Because, if I understand half of it (including the most important part: ".....who suit great, talk straight and enjoy a good brew" !!), I must concede the Texan accent prevents me from understanding every word of it....

Please show some mercy for a little Frenchman trying to "study" "big" politics....

Thanks a lot !

If you link to it, I'll transcribe it for you.

[Lief 🗽]

He came down off the bench after doing his time
He fought heathens and hellions and all kinds of crime
He was just getting started, had a long ways to go
We send him to Washington, to the really big show
Big John
Big John, Big John
Big bad John
Big John

The senate wasn't ready, said pay your dues
And to that John said, sit you down friend, I got some big news
You see I'm from Texas, where we do things quick
And the way the place is run, it's about to me make me sick
Big John, etc.

John opened up government, let us all take a look
Gave support to our soldiers, and routed out crooks
He rose to the top in just one term
Kept Texas in power, made lesser states squirm
Big john, etc.

As the sun rose on the Pecos, the big clock it had burned
Six years had darted by, is it another man's turn?
Don't think that, big Johnny, we're sending you back
You're doing the Lord's work for Texas, and we got your back

We'll call folk, we'll hustle, we'll outwork our foe
We'll tell souls in Texas you must get six mo'
Because that place out yonder needs more men like you
Who'll shoot straight and talk straight and enjoy a good brew

Big John
Big John, Big John
Senator John

Senator John Cornyn.

Thanks a lot, Lief !!

With my bad speakers, with YouTube videos' bad sound quality, with the Texan accent, with this gravelly voice, it was really difficult for me to understand everything.
Even the last BIG sentence....(see my post above)

Ya see, for French ears, this video is absolutely great.

Sure, this is not great politics and Cornyn, for what I know, is not a great politician..... but it's fine to have some funny or "vintage" moments.

Thanks again.

I had forgotten all about this. Cornyn is such an asshat.
