[Verse 1]
Up in the morning, work like a dog
Is better than sitting, like a bump on a log
Mind all your manners, be as quiet as a mouse
Some day you’ll own a home, that’s as big as a house
Now 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
Smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish

[Chorus]
Hey There’s a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby It’s a big old goofy world

[Verse 2]
Now Elvis had a woman, with a head like a rock
I wish I had a woman, that could made my knees knock
She’d sing like an angel, and she eat like a bird
And if I wrote a song, she’d know ever single word
So you kiss a little baby, and you give the world a smile
If you take an inch you, give ’em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug, and you don’t give a damn
You’re never gonna be happy as the clam

[Chorus]
There’s a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby It’s a big old goofy world
[Verse 3]
So I’m sitting in my hotel, always trying to write a song
But my head is just as empty, as the day is long
Why it’s clear as a bell, I should've stayed in school
I’d be wise as an owl, Instead of stubborn as a mule

[Chorus]
Yeah and there’s this big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby we live in a big old goofy world
Yeah and there’s this big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Hey Chicago, It’s a big old goofy world
Hey baby It’s a big old goofy world
