JR! Who Do You Think You Are

This is a character study about the character "JR Ewing" from my favorite tv-series "Dallas". JR was portrayed by the talented Larry Hagman. The video is set to the song "JR! Who Do You Think You Are?" by Howard Keel and was included on the 1985 "Dallas the music story" album. Enjoy!:)

Song lyrics:

John Neely Bryan built a place upon the banks of Trinity river and formed a village of Peter's colony that was the name that was given.
A lot of folks would wander in a drink from the...
But how could they know that the village would grow into JR Ewing's Dallas.

Now in this land where cotton is clean and oil reign supreme is a charming man with a crocket streak and a middle name of mean. Now someone say he wasn't born he was hatched from a Lizzard's...
But a talent for the dirty deed that would turn the rattler green.

JR! Who do you think you are?
JR! You're pushing folks too far.

Born with a greed for making money and an eye for the ultimate scheme.
He crawls through the south like a cotton mouth spitting on people's dreams.
He lives real well just north of hell. His favorite color is green and if something's smells the old cartell you know JR's on the scene.

Now everyone has stomach grums but not in the literal sense. Every place that JR stoomps is a sixth in the neighbour's fence. He softly walks and gently talks and never leaves tracks in the land. But old JR has gone real far in the backs of his fellow men.
JR! Who do you think you are?
JR! You're pushing folks too far.

Cheat in business, cheat on your wife it's all just a part of his schemes.
He uses women and throw them away like a worn out pair of jeans.
Now I don't care if I'll ever get rich or live in a silver palace. But I wanna be there when justice falls on JR Ewing's Dallas.

JR! Who do you think you are?
JR! You're pushing folks too far.

JR! Who do you think you are?
JR! You're pushing folks too far.

JR! Who do you think you are?
JR! You're pushing folks too far.

JR! Who Do you Tnink you are?

@krampi I'm sorry that you're having trouble understanding the lyrics. I will see if I can find some time to type it up for you later...it is really funny! :D

[Karsch100]

@krampi ok, I have added the lyrics. But there are two words in there that I can't make out what he is singing either. lol if anyone can let me know and I'll add them.

[krampi]

@Karsch100 Thank you so much. Am sorry for this late "thank you", internet-provider cut the line. And now I will sing the song. Thank you much. As for the words, I try to understand and help you. Now it is much easier off course.

[Karsch100]

1.29 a tip for life; never say something rude, to anyone, with your back to a swimming pool.

[Karsch100]

@theporksicle lol so right, I loved the scenes when someone got pushed into the swimming pool though. Too funny! Thanks for watching! :)

[krampi]

@Karsch100 In one line it may mean: Lizzard's spleen.

As for "lot a folks are wander in..." I think it is geographical or else.

@Karsch100 That was when JR undercut the prevailing price of gas by 40 cents causing a near riot at the Ewing barbecue.

@daved1974 It was still 99 cents a gallon in 1999 when I started driving!

[Karsch100]

@apollo100 Thank you. :)

[Karsch100]

@daved1974 I know what you mean, gas prizes certainly have gone up since the 1980s! Anyway thanks for watching my video. :)
