Roller Derby Queen — 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

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
