WOO!



The joint was a jumpin` on the corner (yeah-yeah)

Down on a Honky Tonk Street (yeah-yeah)

When all of a sudden up drove a Cadillac (yeah-yeah)

And out stepped a cat named Pete



Diamonds on-a every finger (yeah-yeah)

Wore a tailor-made suit

He smoked a black cigar (so what?)

He wore a Stetson hat (yeah)

He wore a pair-a cowboy boots



He busted on through the doorway (yeah-yeah)

Bad as-a he could be (yeah-yeah)

He pulled out his pistol, he turned around

He said, `My name is a Big Boy Pete`



The music stopped, there wasn`t a sound

A-over in the corner stood-a, Bad Man Brown

Brown smiled a grin, he said, `My friend`

(`You take your 3 steps forward and I`m `onna-a, clue you in`)



Now Pete said, `A look it, here buddy` (yeah-yeah)

`Fore I tan your hide` (yeah-yeah)

I got a forty-five to keep me alive

Seven bullets on my side



Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete

They fought from the counter right on out to the street

They swung from north, they swung from south

Brown cut that black cigar right outta Pete`s mouth!

Pete hit the ground, he yelled and screamed

(Pete took his Stetson hat and beat the scene)



Now if you`re ever down on the corner (yeah-yeah)

Down on-a Honky Tonk Street (yeah-yeah)

Don`t mess with Brown (yeah-yeah)

He`ll cut you down

Take a message from-a Big Boy Pete



Umm-umm, umm umm umm (yeah-yeah)

Umm-umm, umm umm umm (yeah-yeah)



FADES-

Umm, umm, umm.
