ali was the greatest
there’s the tallest man on earth
but for robert wadlow’s shoes
there just ain’t been no berth
they built him a mattress
a duvet was his pillow
but no woman could handle
what he had to billow
robert wadlow
grew and grew
he outgrew his coffin
believe me it’s true
bruises on the forehead
a back that ached
no chairs to sit down
nowhere to escape
sustainable growth till 8’11”
above him only sky
10 feet tall seemed possible
at 22 he died
robert wadlow
grew and grew
he outgrew his coffin
believe me it’s true
the giant of illinois
nails and hair
no one can stop em
just as the love that you share
robert wadlow
grew and grew
he outgrew his coffin
believe me it’s true
