Roller Derby Queen

Lyrics/Music: Jim Croce

Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With the girl I saw on a bar room TV 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 'n' beers

The night 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 by 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 was built like a fridgerator with a head
Her fans call her 'Tuffy'
But all her buddies called her 'Spike'

The night 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, uh, huh

Round and round, go round and round
Round and round, go round and round
Round and round

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 could 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
Round and round, oh round and round
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena, uh, huh

God, I remember singing at the top of my voice with the windows down in my Chevy Impala on summer days, feeling like a real babe with my feathered hair.

[jrat92]

I sing this song all the time!

[CheddarTheKnight]

It's a shame people like Jim Croce don't exist anymore. I bet if Eminem or Lil Wayne had to work a real job a couple years, they'd be a bit more humble. Croce understood the plight of the working man; rappers today don't understand jack shit.
