Now, I've got a gal 

Shaped like a frog 

Her voice remind me 

Of an old bulldog 

Her hair looks just like 

A chinchill-ie coat 

An man if you get close 

Up to that woman 

She smells like a goat 

She got b.o. 

She keeps b.o all the time 

And she thinks soap and water 

Woo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime 

Her ears, is so long 

Her nose, is so fat 

Her head, is so big 

She can't even wear a hat 

Her dogs is swolled 

An she got one eye 

Man, she looks like a wreck 

That happened last July 

Man, ain't she ugly? 

She got b.o. all the time 

Man, that woman thinks soap an water 

Man, is a doggone crime 

She must-a have been 

Her mother's only child 

She should-a been a gorilla 

'Cause she sho' is wild 

She got ways like a monkey 

Sly as a fox 

She should-a been on some chain gang 

Man, breakin' up rocks 

Man, ain't she ugly? 

An she keeps b.o. all the time 

Man, that woman thinks soap an water 

Hoo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime 

Her legs look like needles 

An she ain't got no chin 

She's a beautiful woman 

For the shape she's in 

Her feets look like wings 

Way out on a limb 

That's just why her mother 

Put her off on him! 

Man, ain't she ugly? 

An she keeps b.o. all the time 

Man, she thinks soap an water 

Woo! Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime.
