#ROLLER DERBY QUEEN
#Words and music by Jim Croce
[E7]Gonna tell you a story you won't believe
But [A7]I fell in love last Friday evening
With a [B7]girl I saw on a [A7]bar room TV [E7]screen
[E7]Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she [A7]caught my eye and I put it back
And [B7]ordered myself a [A7]couple o' more shots and [E7]beers
CHORUS:
The night that [G7]I fell in love with a [A7]roller derby [E7]queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
[G7]Meanest hunk o' woman that [A7]anybody ever [B7]seen
Down in the arena
She was [E7]five-foot-six and two-fifteen
A [A7]bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She [B7]knew how to knuckle
And she [A7]knew how to scuffle and [E7]fight
The roller derby program said
That she was [A7]built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her [B7]fans call her Tuffy
But [A7]all her buddies call her [E7]Spike
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
[E7]Round and round, go round and round
[A7]Round and round, go round and round
[B7] [A7] [E7]
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)
