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 Trinity Chalice
But how could they know that the village would grow into JR Ewing's Dallas.

Now in this land where cotton is queen and oil reign supreme is a charming man with a crooked streak and a middle name of mean. Now someone say he wasn't born he was hatched from a Lizzard's spleen.
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 stomping grounds, but not in the literal sense. Every place that JR stomps is a section of 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?
