It's A Big Old Goofy World

John Prine

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 Ooooh baby 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
