Big John

Every morning in DC they'd see him arrive
He stood 5 foot 8 and weighed 155
Average in stature, but a giant of a man
'Cause everyone knew that the Pres was a fan . . . of Big John
Big John . . . Big John . . . Big John Huang

No one seemed to know where he was from
He just seemed to step out of the rising sun
He didn't say much - he was kind of shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "hi" . to Big John

Somebody said that the Riady clan
Had groomed him to be Clinton's right-hand man
He could make cash flow like a babbling brook
So when the Pres needed help, he knew where to look . . . Big John
Big John . . . Big John . . . Big John Huang

Then came the time that the polls all said
The Pres' re-election chances were dead
If he didn't raise 15 mil, he was through
So he picked up the phone and the call went out to . . . Big John

Through the smoke and mirrors of that campaign hell
Walked this giant of a man contributors knew well
He squeezed them hard, and they gave out a groan
But they sent in their checks, 'cause you don't say "no" . . . to Big John
Big John . . . Big John . . . Big John Huang

And with the strength of a man possessed
He amassed an amazing campaign war chest
That allowed Bill to scramble from a political grave
But the headlines broke before they could save . . . Big John

With spin and denials they gave it a try
But the revelations came fast, and it became time
To cut the rope and put distance between
And the White House thought it was the last they'd seen . . . of Big John
Big John . . . Big John . . . Big John Huang

But hearings in DC have a life of their own
And a familiar shadow has arrived and grown
So the time may come when he raises his hand . . .
And we get to hear the words of a big, big man . . . Big John
Big John . . . Big John . . . Big John Huang
