[Intro]
Woo!

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Diamonds on 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 of cowboy boots

[Verse 3]
He busted on through the doorway (Yeah-yeah)
Bad as he could be (Yeah-yeah)
Pulled out his pistol, he turned around
He said, "My name is a Big Boy Pete"

[Bridge 1]
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 three steps forward
And I'm 'onna, do you in")

[Verse 4]
Now, Pete said, "A-look it here, buddy (Yeah-yeah)
'Fore I tan your hide" (Yeah-yeah)
I got a .45 to keep me alive
Seven bullets on my side

[Bridge 2]
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
[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm (Yeah-yeah)
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm (Yeah)
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm-umm-umm-umm
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm (Yeah-yeah)
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm (Yeah-yeah)
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm, umm-umm-umm-umm (Yeah)
Umm, umm-umm-umm-umm
