Up in the morning  ,Work like a dog
     D                         C         G

Mind your manners ,be quiet as a mouse

Someday you'll own a home that's as big as a house

I know a fella ,eats like a horse
D                               C        G
Knocks his old balls around the old golf coarse
G                    C
You oughta see wife ,she's a cute little dish
    D                         C             G

Elvis had a woman with a head like a rock

I wish I had a woman that made my knees knock

She'd sing like an angel and eat like a bird
    D                            C            G
And if I wrote a song,she'd know every single word

Sittin in a hotel ,trying to write a song

My head is just as empty as the day is long

I'd be as wise as an owl,instead of as stubborn as a mule
