JIM CROCE- "ROLLER DERBY QUEEN"(LYRICS)

Jim Croce hosted "The Midnight Special" on June 15, 1973 on NBC. He sang "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)", "Roller Derby Queen", "You Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Speedball Tucker", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Careful Man". LYRICS: Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers
The night that I fell in love with the Roller Derby Queen
(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena
She was five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
That she was built like a 'fridgerator with a head
The fans called her "Tuffy"
But all her buddies called her "Spike"
The night that I fell in love with the Roller Derby Queen
(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena
(INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE)
Well I could not help it but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin' of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty she might be fat
But I never met a person who could tell her that
She's my bleach blonde bomber
My heavy handed Hackensack mama
The night that I fell in love with the Roller Derby Queen
(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

    Jim Croce was and still is an American Treasure. His storytelling style is bar-none. He’s so easy going about it, too. What a swell guy

    It's truly a shame that he had to go so early.
