Every mornin' at the Y you could see him arrive
He stood 5 foot 11 and weighed 145
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big Josh
(Big Josh Big Josh) Big Bad Josh (Big Josh)
Nobody seemed to know where Josh called home
Just drifted into class and made us all groan
He didn't say much he's not quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all you just pleaded to Big Josh
Somebody said he came from Camden
Where he got in a fight over a Creme Brulee
And a swirling whip from a huge whisk
He made a Louisiana fellow re-do a lobster bisque
Big Josh(Big Josh Big Josh) Big Bad Josh (Big Josh)
Then came the day in the room at the Y
When the spinners were spinning and starting to sweat
Spin people were praying that their hearts beat yet
And everybody thought that they had lost their bet
Through the sweat and the heat of this man made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the spinners knew well
Hoped on his bike and gave out with a groan
And like a crazy man he said spin get into the zone,
Big Josh(Big Josh Big Josh) Big Bad Josh (Big Johs)
And with all of his breath he gave a mighty command
Then a spinners yelled out there's no time to stand
And twenty people groaned that they needed a fan
And all we could hear is the shouts of run faster from Big Josh
With time running out we started to back down
Then came that shout that made us all frown
And the sweat and heat from the heated up Y
Everybody knew that the ride was over was just a big lie from Big Josh
Big Josh Big Josh) Big Bad Josh (Big Josh)
Now it is really over in that heated room
There is just the exausted in that spinning tomb
These few words are written on that ride
That that day at the Y all our brains were fried by
Big Josh(Big Josh Big Josh) Big Bad Josh

Willie,
So you're a poet songwriter...I wonder if Jimmy Dean would approve of your changes to his song?! I thought you did a pretty good job at it, though. As for Big Bad Josh--I'm kinda glad to be missing his class on Wednesdays--he's scary...
Getting in touch with our inner Jim Croce are we?
Sadly no it is not Jim Croce but Jimmy Dean sausage maker giant.
I could see why you'd want to keep up with him as well.
