[G]Up in the morning, [C]work like a dog
Is [D]better than sitting like a [C]bump on a [G]log
[G]Mind all your manners, be [C]quiet as a mouse
Some [D]day you?ll own a home that?s as [C]big as a [G]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:
There?s a [G]big old goofy man
Dancing with a [C]big old goofy girl
[D]Ooooh baby
It?s a [D]big old goofy [G]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
