Lyrics
He's always telling stories
He consistently engages in narrating tales.
That's how he got his name - big Ballyhoo.
This habit earned him the nickname "big Ballyhoo."
It's very very boring
His storytelling becomes tedious or uninteresting.
It's ev'ry day the same - big Ballyhoo.
His routine seems repetitive, lacking variation - part of his 'big Ballyhoo' persona.
Whatever he is saying
Regardless of the content, his narratives are fabricated.
He is telling a lie
Every story he tells is untrue.
But he tells you why it's true.
Despite being false, he insists his tales contain elements of truth.
He is a tall story teller
He's characterized as a prolific creator of tall tales.
He says that Rockefeller
Claims that he was instrumental in Rockefeller's success.
Became a millionaire
Suggests that he provided advice leading to Rockefeller's wealth.
'cause he gave him the tips
Implies that he taught Rockefeller strategies for success.
And he taught him the tricks.
Highlights his alleged role in Rockefeller's prosperity.
He is a tall story teller -
Reiterates his knack for storytelling and fabrication.
Why do I love this feller?
Questions the reason for affection toward this habitual liar.
I really don't low why
Expresses confusion about personal feelings for him.
But I know it's true
Despite uncertainty, claims that the feelings are genuine.
That he loves me too
Asserts that he reciprocates the affection, countering doubt.
And that is not a lie.
Insists that this reciprocal love is not fabricated.
So we are goin' to marry
Plans for marriage due to her proclaimed love for him.
Because I love this man - big Ballyhoo.
Decides to marry despite acknowledging his habitual lying (big Ballyhoo).
I said you're very caring
Acknowledges his caring nature but sets a condition regarding lies.
But you must understand - big Ballyhoo.
Emphasizes the importance of honesty in their relationship.
Be sure if you ever gonna tell me a lie
Issues a warning that lying will result in the end of their relationship.
I'm saying good bye to you.
Declares a definitive separation if he continues to lie.
He is a tall story teller
Reaffirms his identity as a skilled storyteller (repeated).

Ballyhoo Ballyhoo - yes I love him
