Up in the morning.
Work like a dog.
Is better than setting
Like a bump on a log.

Mind all your manners.
Be quiet as a mouse.
Some day you'll own a home
That's as big as a house.

I know a fellow.
He eats like a horse.
Knocks his old balls
Round the old golf course.

You ought to see his wife.
She's a cute little dish.
She smokes like a chimney
And drinks like a fish

There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Oh baby it's a big old goofy world.

Elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock.
I wish 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 every single word.

There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Oh baby it's a big old goofy world.

Kiss a little baby.
Give the world a smile.
And if you take an inch
Give them back a mile.

Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never going to be
As happy as a clam.

I'm sitting in a hotel
Trying 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
Instead of stubborn as a mule.

There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Oh baby it's a big old goofy world.

Oh baby it's a big old goofy world.
