It's A Big Old Goofy World
John Prine

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
Someday you'll own a home that's as big as a house

G                 C
I know a fella he eats like a horse
D                              C        G
Knocks his old balls round the old golf course
G                                 C
You oughta see his wife - she's a cute little dish
    D                         C             G
She smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish

G                                          C
There's a big old goofy man dancing with a big old goofy girl
D                               G
Ooh baby - It's a big old goofy world

G                           C
Now Elvis had a woman with a head like a rock
  D                         C             G
I wished I had a woman that made my knees knock
G                            C
She'd sing like an angel and eat like a bird
    D                       C                 G
And if I wrote a song she'd know every single word

G                                          C
There's a big old goofy man dancing with a big old goofy girl
D                               G
Ooh baby - It's a big old goofy world

BREAK ON VERSE

G                    C
Kiss a little baby - Give the world a smile
D                   C               G
If you take an inch give 'em back a mile
             G                  C
Cause if you lie like a rug and you don't give a damn
       D                 C          G
You're never gonna be as happy as a clam

G                         C
So I'm sitting in a hotel trying to write a song
   D                            C      G
My head is just as empty as the day is long
         G                 C
Why it's clear as a bell I should have gone to school
       D                         C            G
I'd be wise as an owl stead of stubborn as a mule

G                                          C
There's a big old goofy man dancing with a big old goofy girl
D                               G
Ooh baby - It's a big old goofy world (2x)
