It's a Big Old Goofy World (Live)
Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
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 fella
He eats like a horse
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 fish
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished 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 ever single word
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
'Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna 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
Stead of stubborn as a mule
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
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 fella
He eats like a horse
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 fish
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished 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 ever single word
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
'Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna 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
Stead of stubborn as a mule
There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
