[C] I'm just a lonesome traveler, [G] a great [C] historical bum
Highly educated, [G] from history [C] I have come
I built the Rock of Ages, was in the year of one
That was about the biggest [G] thing that man had [C] ever done
I worked in the Garden of Eden, that was the year of two
Joined the Apple Pickers Union, [G] always paid my due
[C] And the man had signed a [G] contract to raise the [C] rising sun
That was about the biggest thing that man had ever done
I was straw boss on the pyramids and the Tower of Babel too
Opened up the ocean, let [G] the migrant [C] children through
I fought a million battles and I never lost a one
That was about the biggest [G] thing that man [C] had ever done
I beat the daring Roman, I beat the daring Turk
Defeated Nero's [G] army with thirty [C] minutes work
I fought the greatest leaders and licked them every one
That was about the biggest [G] thing that man [C] had ever done
I was in the Revolution [G] when we set the [C] country free
It was me and a couple of [G] Indians who dumped the [C] Boston Tee
We won the Battle of Valley Forge and Battle of Fully Run
That was about the biggest [G] thing that man [C] had ever done
There's a man across the ocean and [G] I guess you know him [C] well
His name is Adolf Hitler [G] and damn his soul to hell
[C] We'll kick him in the panzers and put him on the run
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
Those mines and mills and factories that run for Uncle Sam
Producing for the soldier boys that fight for this great land
Our job it is a tough one, it'll take us every one
But this'll be the biggest [G] thing that man has [C] ever done
Those warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats
Guys that run the steel [G] mills, the furnace and the blasts
We'll [C] stop the Axis rattlesnakes and thieves of Olnipon
That'll be the biggest [G] thing that man has ever [C] done
Well I better quit my talking cause I told you all I know
Please remember, partner, [G] wherever you may go
[C] The world is digging Hitler's grave and when the job is done
That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done
Yes, that'll [G] be the biggest thing that man has ever done
