Song	It's a Big Old Goofy World
Artist	John Prine
Album	The Best of Mountain Stage - Vol. 2

	Lyrics：John Prine Music：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 baby
	It's a big old goofy world
	Now 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
	Kiss a little baby
	Give the world a smile
	If you take an inch
	Give 'em back a mile
	Cause if you lie like a rug
	And you don't give a damn
	You're never gonna be
	As happy as a clam
	So 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.
