《Big Bruce》歌词

[00:00:08] The folk history of America

[00:00:09] Is the history of it's heroes

[00:00:12] Big workin' men like John Henry

[00:00:15] Paul Bunyon &Big Bad John

[00:00:19] But today I'd like to introduce a new folk hero

[00:00:23] He didn't work in a mine or on a railroad

[00:00:26] Or any of those strenuous occupations

[00:00:29] He worked in a beauty salon &his name was Bruce

[00:00:35] Well at the beauty salon every morning at ten

[00:00:39] Big Bruce arrived &kind of tip toed in

[00:00:41] He wore bell bottomed pants &a polka dot tie

[00:00:45] And whenever he spoke it was just to say 'Hi'

[00:00:51] Big Bruce

[00:00:54] Big Bad Bruce

[00:01:00] And everyone knew when he swished into town

[00:01:04] You could smell his perfume for miles around

[00:01:07] He stood six foot five &weighed 106

[00:01:12] With a curl in his hair &a smile on his lips

[00:01:14] Big Bruce

[00:01:19] Big Old Bruce

[00:01:24] The boys all say he's from Abilene

[00:01:27] Where he had a social group called

[00:01:30] The Lone Star Queens

[00:01:32] Some say Hollywood or Beverly Hills

[00:01:35] Where he got arrested for passing

[00:01:37] Three dollar bills

[00:01:39] That's Bruce

[00:01:39] Dumb Old Bruce

[00:01:48] Then came the day of that terrible fire

[00:01:52] Something went wrong in the number five dryer

[00:01:56] Into the chaos of those matronly dames

[00:01:59] Went Big Bad Bruce just a fannin' the flames

[00:02:04] Big Bad Bruce

[00:02:08] Big Bad Brucey Woosey

[00:02:12] Well the flames grew higher &the fire got worse

[00:02:16] And someone heard Brucey cry

[00:02:18] 'Mercy I forgot my purse'

[00:02:20] Into the fire with a squeal &a shout

[00:02:25] We waited an hour but he never came out

[00:02:28] Poor Bruce

[00:02:32] Poor Old Bruce

[00:02:36] Where that salon once stood there's a grocery store

[00:02:41] But his name will live forever more

[00:02:44] In the annals of time &the hall of fame

[00:02:48] As the gay young cat who went down in flames

[00:02:52] Big Bruce

[00:02:56] You might say this has been kind of a fairy tale
