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
Some day you'll own a home

That's as big as a house
I know a fella
He eats like a horse

Knocks his old balls

Round the old golf course
Knocks his old balls

Round the old golf course
You oughta see his wife

She's a cute little dish

She smokes like a chimney
And drinks like a flSh
And drinks like a fish
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby

It's a big old goofy world
Ooh baby

It's a big old goofy world
With a head like a rock

I wished I had a woman

That made my knees knock
And ifl wrote a song

She'd know ever single word
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby

It's a big old goofy world
INSTRUMENTAL
lfyou take an inch

Give 'em back a mile
Cause ifyou lie like a rug

And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna be

As happy as a clam
You're never gonna be

As happy as a clam
So I'm sitting in a hotel

Trying to write a song

My head is just as empty

As the day is long
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

Stead of stubborn as a mule.
I'd be wise as an owl

Stead of stubborn as a mule.
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby, It's a big old goofy world

Ooh baby, It's a big old goofy world
Ooh baby, It's a big old goofy world

Ooh baby, It's a big old goofy world
Ooh baby, It's a big old goofy world
