Big John Is My Name - Rare Earth

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

Cause honky tonk joints that’s my style

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

Soulful folks ain’t got no shoes… smellin like all

Out doors…

I got invited to the white house but I had to turn it

Down cause

Puttin down…
