ROLLER DERBY QUEEN
Words and music by Jim Croce

:E7:Gonna tell you a story you won't believe
But :A7:I fell in love last Friday evening
With a :B7:girl I saw on a :A7:bar room TV :E7:screen
:E7:Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she :A7:caught my eye and I put it back
And :B7:ordered myself a :A7:couple o' more shots and :E7:beers

CHORUS:
The night that :G7:I fell in love with a :A7:roller derby :E7:queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
:G7:Meanest hunk o' woman that :A7:anybody ever :B7:seen
Down in the arena

She was :E7:five-foot-six and two-fifteen
A :A7:bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She :B7:knew how to knuckle
And she :A7:knew how to scuffle and :E7:fight

The roller derby program said
That she was :A7:built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her :B7:fans call her Tuffy
But :A7:all her buddies call her :E7:Spike

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
:E7:Round and round, go round and round
:A7:Round and round, go round and round
:B7:  :A7:  :E7:

Well I could not help but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I've been speakin' of
Things were kind of bad until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty, and 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

(CHORUS)
