Croce Jim - Roller Derby Queen Tabs

ROLLER DERBY QUEEN
Words and music by Jim Croce

Gonna tell you a story you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evening
With a 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 ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers

CHORUS:
The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
Meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

She was 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

The roller derby program said
That she was built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her fans call her Tuffy
But all her buddies call her Spike

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE: 
Round and round, go round and round
Round and round, go round and round
    

Well I could not help but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I've been speakin' of
Things were kind of bad until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty, and 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

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
