Artist/Band: John Prine
Lyrics for Song: Big Old Goofy World
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - John Prine



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.


Napaca.
