From: Mike Sweeney

Are there more than 2 verses to My Brother Sylvest? I know the ones about " He thought he'd take a trip to Italy & He thought he'd take a trip to uld Japan" I would appreciate if anyone knew any more.

Check the database under "My Brother Sylveste" They have an Arabie verse instead of a Japan verse. Also, the way I learned it was:

He saw the Lucitania in distress
So he shoved the Lucitania up his dress
It takes all the army and the navy
To take the bra off Mae West

Hi! I learned the chorus differently than it is shown in the database. Here goes. He's my brother Sylveste (what's he got)/ Got a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest)/ He killed 50 barmen in the west/ Knows no rest / Spoken: Bigger the man, hells fire, don't push nor shove, plenty room for you or me, Got an arm, like a leg,/ And a punch that'd sink a battle ship (big ship)/ It'd take all the army & the navy to get the bra off Mae West./
