Subject: Roller Derby Queen, By Jim Croce
ROLLER DERBY QUEEN
Words and music by Jim Croce
<e7>
Gonna tell you a story you won't believe
But
<a7>
I fell in love last Friday evening
With a
<b7>
girl I saw on a
<a7>
bar room TV
<e7>
screen
<e7>
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she
<a7>
caught my eye and I put it back
And
<b7>
ordered myself a
<a7>
couple o' more shots and
<e7>
beers
CHORUS:
The night that
<g7>
I fell in love with a
<a7>
roller derby
<e7>
queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
<g7>
Meanest hunk o' woman that
<a7>
anybody ever
<b7>
seen
Down in the arena
She was
<e7>
five-foot-six and two-fifteen
<a7>
bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She
<b7>
knew how to knuckle
And she
<a7>
knew how to scuffle and
<e7>
fight
The roller derby program said
That she was
<a7>
built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her
<b7>
fans call her Tuffy
But
<a7>
all her buddies call her
<e7>
Spike
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
<e7>
Round and round, go round and round
<a7>
Round and round, go round and round
<
B7> <
A7> <
E7>
Well I could not help but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I've been speakin' of
Things were kind of bad until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty, and she might be fat
But I never met a person who would tell her that
She's my big blonde bomber, my heavy-handed Hackensack mama
(CHORUS)
