[Intro]
G C D
[Verse]
G C
Up in the morning, Work like a dog
D C G
It's better than sittin like a bump on a log
G C
Mind your manners, be quiet as a mouse
D C G
Someday you'll own a home that's as big as a house
G C
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
She smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish
[Chorus]
G
There's a big ole goofy man
C
,dancin with a big ole goofy girl
D C G
Oooh baby it's a big ole goofy world
[Verse]
G C
Elvis had a woman with a head like a rock
D C G
I wish I had a woman that made my knees knock
G C
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
[Chorus]
G
There's a big ole goofy man
C
Dancin with a big ole goofy girl
D C G
Oooh baby it's a big ole goofy world
[Instrumental]
G C D C G

G C D C G

[Verse]
G C
Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
D C G
And if you take an inch, give them back a mile
G C
Cause if you lie like a rug and you don't give a damn
D C G
You're never gonna be as happy as a clam
G C
Sittin in a hotel, trying to write a song
D C G
My head is just as empty as the day is long
G C
Why it's clear as a bell, I should have gone to school
D C G
I'd be wise as an owl, instead of stubborn as a mule
[Chorus]
G
There's a big ole goofy man
C
Dancin with a big ole goofy girl
D C G
Oooh baby it's a big ole goofy world
D C G
Oooh baby it's a big ole goofy world
