Well I like what I do...and I ...do what I like
what i do? I play the funky music.......repeat
Some of my friends smoke a little dope I gotta tell you 
all
Some of my friends tootin up coke
Well different strokes for different folks...but me?
playin funky music all night long....that's what turns 
me on.....

I might not ever make the big time yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hey in a one bulb lighted room ...where the women wear 
50 cent perfume...

Big John is my name...playin funky music is my claim to 
fame
from the big city .... me and my band specialize in the 
nitty gritty..

Played my music in every honky tonk joint from maine to 
mexico

out doors....
