Big Old Goofy World


Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than setting
like a bump on a log

Mind all your manners
Be quiet as a mouse
Some day you'll own a home,
that's as big as a house

I know a fellow
He eats like a horse
Knocks his old balls,
round the old golf course

You ought to see his wife
She's a cute little dish
She smokes like a chimney,
and drinks like a fish

There's a big old goofy man
dancing with a big old goofy girl,
Oh baby, it's a big old goofy world

Elvis had a woman,
with a head like a rock
I wish I had a woman,
that made my knees knock

She'd sing like an angel,
and eat like a bird
And if I wrote a song,
she'd know every single word

There's a big old goofy man
dancing with a big old goofy girl,
Oh baby, it's a big old goofy world

Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
And if you take an inch,
give them back a mile

Cause if you lie like a rug,
and you don't give a damn,
you're never going to be,
as happy as a clam

I'm sitting in a hotel,
trying to write a song
My head is just as empty,
as the day is long

Why it's clear as a bell,
I should have gone to school
I'd be wise as an owl,
Instead of stubborn as a mule

There's a big old goofy man
dancing with a big old goofy girl,
Oh baby, it's a big old goofy world

Oh baby, it's a big old goofy world
