BIG EDDIE
words & music by William J Norman
Listen to an MP3 of "BIG EDDIE"
People run when they see me coming
Even though I'm only 5 feet one inch
'Cause my best friend - he is 6'10''
Eddie likes having fights with knives and
Eddie giggles at the sight of spilled blood
Chews on cactus - but the fact is
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he'll do what I say
Get ready to be terrified 'cause he's coming your way
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he's bigger than you
And you never know what he might do
We met in kindergarten.
He was startin' shaving
I wrote all his book reports
I guess I sort of felt supportive
Through the years we have stuck together
Doing anything as long as it's fun
Paint graffiti, kick the needy
Had a laugh when we both got busted
Selling liquor to the underage kids
Didn't worry, told the jury
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he'll do what I say
Get ready to be terrified 'cause he's coming your way
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he's bigger than you
And you never know what he might do
Eddie got elected to the
Senate by a landslide
Just in case it needs explaining
We went door to door campaigning
We pollute and collect our kickbacks
Now we're running the show for ourselves
Cut your health care, raised the cab fare
Do you think that you're gonna stop us?
Well it takes a little guts to do that
Are you ready for Big Eddie?
(solo)
And when I finally died
and hitched a ride to Heaven
Peter wouldn't let me in.
I kicked his shin and screamed at him that…
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he'll do what I say
Get ready to be terrified 'cause he's coming your way
Big Eddie is a friend of mine and he's bigger than you
And you never know what he might do
