[chorus: fuller condon, andy bean, and both]
that’s my brother, sylvest (whatcha got?)
got a row of forty melons on his chest (big chest)
k!lled fifty vermin in the west, he knows no rest
simple man,h+ll’s far, don’t push, just shove
plenty’a room for you and me
he’s got an arm like a leg
and a punch that could sink a battleship (a big ship)
takes all the army and the navy
to put the wind out sylvest
[instrumental break]
[verse 3: fuller condon, andy bean, and both]

he thought he’d go by sea (by sea)
he dove off the harbor in new york
and he swam like a man from cork

he saw the [?] in distress (distress)
he put the [?] on his chest (big chest)
he drank all the water in the sea
and he walked all the way to italy

got a row of forty melons on his chest (big chest)

simple man,h+ll’s far, don’t push, just shove
plenty’a room for you and me
he’s got an arm like a leg
and a punch that could sink a battleship (a big ship)
takes all the army and the navy
to put the wind out sylvest

they brought out the big brass band
he played every instrument they got
what a lad, he played the whole lot
[verse 6: fuller condon, andy bean, and both]
well, the old church bells a+ring
the old church choir’ll sing
they all came out to say farewell
to my brother sylvest
[chorus: fuller condon, andy bean, and both]
that was my brother, sylvest (whatcha got?)
got a row of forty melons on his chest (big chest)
k!lled fifty vermin in the west, he knows no rest
simple man,h+ll’s far, don’t push, just shove
plenty’a room for you and me
he’s got an arm like a leg
and a punch that could sink a battleship (a big ship)
takes all the army and the navy
to put the wind out sylvest (cha+cha+cha)
