G C
Up in the morning, work like a dog
D C G
Is better than sitting like a bump on a log
G C
Mind all your manners, be quiet as a mouse
D C G
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
Chorus:
G
There�s a big old goofy man
C
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
D
Ooooh baby
D G
It�s a big old goofy world
Now 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
Chorus
Instrumental break
Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
And 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, tryin� 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
Chorus
Ooooh baby � it�s big old goofy world
