It's A Big Old Goofy World Lyrics - John Prine

Up in the morning 

Work like a dog 

Is better than sitting 

Like a bump on a log 

Mind all your manners 

Be quiet as a mouse 

Some day you'll own a home 

That's as big as a house 

I know a fella 

He eats like a horse 

Knocks his old balls 

'Round the old golf course 

You oughta see his wife 

She's a cute little dish 

She smokes like a chimney 

And drinks like a fish

There's a big old goofy man 

Dancing with a big old goofy girl 

Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world 

Elvis had a woman 

With a head like a rock 

I wished I had a woman 

That made my knees knock 

She'd sing like an angel 

And eat like a bird 

And if I wrote a song 

She'd know ever single word 

There's a big old goofy man 

Dancing with a big old goofy girl 

Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world 

Kiss a little baby 

Give the world a smile 

If you take an inch 

Give 'em back a mile 

Photos 

'Cause if you lie like a rug 

And you don't give a damn 

You're never gonna be 

As happy as a clam 

I'm sitting in a hotel 

Trying to write a song 

My head is just as empty 

As the day is long 

Why it's clear as a bell 

I should have gone to school 

I'd be wise as an owl 

Stead of stubborn as a mule 

There's a big old goofy man 

Dancing with a big old goofy girl 

Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world 

Ooh big, it's a big old goofy world
