Roller Derby Queen - Jim Croce

Gonna tell you a story, that you won’t believe

But I fell in love last Friday evening

With the girl I saw on a bar room TV screen

Well I was just getting ready to get my hat

When she caught my eye, and I put it back

And I ordered myself a couple of more shots and beers

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

around and round, a round and round

The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

She was 5 foot 6, two fifteen

A bleach 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

Her fans called her Tuffy, but all her buddies called her Spike

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

around and round, a round and round

The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Well I could not help it, but to fall in love

With this heavy duty woman I’ve been speaking of Things were kinda 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 bleach blonde bomber, my heavy handed Hackensack mama

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

around and round, a round and round

The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen

Down in the arena
