G                  C 
Up in the morning, work like a dog 
   D                          C         G  
Is better than sitting like a bump on a log 
G                         C 
Mind all your manners, be quiet as a mouse 
     D                               C        G 
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 
 
          G  
There's a big old goofy man 
               C 
Dancing with a big old goofy girl 
D 
Ooooh baby 
       D             G 
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 
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental break 
 
Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile 
And 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 
 
I'm sitting in a hotel, tryin' 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 
 
Chorus 
 
Ooooh baby - it's big old goofy world
