[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 _ _ _
