Lyrics

Gonna tell you a story, that you won't believe But I fell in love last Friday evening With the girl I saw on a bar room TV screen Well I was just getting ready to get my hat When she caught my eye, and I put it back And I ordered myself couple of more shots and beers The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Around and round, around and round The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six, two-fifteen A beach 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 was built like a 'fridgerator with a head Her fans called her Tuffy, but all her buddies called her Spike The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Around and round, around and round The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen Down in the arena (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round) Well I could not help it, but to fall in love With this heavy-duty woman I've been speaking of Things were kinda 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 bleach blonde bomber, my heavy-handed Hackensack mama The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Around and round, around and round The meanest hunk of woman that anybody'd ever seen Down in the arena (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round, around and round) (Round and round)
