Roller Derby Queen — текст песни (Jim Croce)

Gonna tell you a story that you won`t believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin`
With a girl I saw on a bar room T.V. screen

Well I was just gettin` ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o` more shots and beers

Chorus:

The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
The meanest hunk o` woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

She were five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama
With a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight

And the roller derby program said
That she were built like a `fridgerator with a head
Her fans call her Tuffy
But all her buddies called her Spike

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Round and round, go round and round (3 times)

Well I could not help it
But to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman
I been speakin` of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life

Well she might be nasty
She might be fat
But I never met a person
Who would tell her that
She`s my big blonde bomber
My heavy handed Hackensack mama

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Bridge)

(Fade)
