Big Red's His Own Man

Big Red he is his own man
Give him a job and he says "I can"
Give him a tool he'll fix it fine
And he'll do it right on time

So give him a raise!
Big Red's due one
He's the man to get the job done
Job's now done and ever'one's cookin'
Cause things go fast when Big Red's bookin'.

They made Big Red to a manager man
Figured they needed Big Red's hand
But Big Red didn't know what to do
Without a boss he hadn't a clue.

So give him a team!
Big Red needs one
With a team he'll get more things done
Job' not done? Say, what's the matter?
With Big Red in charge, things shoulda gone better.

Big Red started to prevaricate
Said one thing to Jim and another to Jake
Said "Yes, we'll do it" to everyone he knew
Then went on vacation and it came unglued.

So whatever happened
To Big Red's word?
It's lyin' there stinkin' like a great big turd.
Big Red's got in over his head
Now he faces each day like the zombie dead.

Again now:

So they gave him a raise!
Big Red was due one
He once was the man to get the job done
But now he doesn't know what he's doin'
(slowly)
So he spends most days just tryin' to fool us.
