Roller Derby Queen (Harper College 2/5/73) - Jim Croce

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 a Roller Derby Queen

(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)

The meanest hunk o' woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

She is a 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 were built like a 'fridgerator with a head

The fans called her "Tuffy"

But all her buddies called her "Spike"

You know the night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)

The meanest hunk o' woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round

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 would tell her that

She's my big blonde bomber

My heavy handed Hackensack mama

The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)

The meanest hunk o' woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round

Round 'n' round
