With a >I fell in love last Friday evening
With a <B7>girl I saw on a >girl I saw on a <A7>bar room TV screen
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she <A7>caught my eye and I put it back
And >caught my eye and I put it back
And <B7>ordered myself a >ordered myself a <A7>couple o' more shots and beers

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

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

The roller derby program said
That she was fight

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

BRIDGE: 
Round and round, go round and round
Round and round, go round and round
<A7>Round and round, go round and round
>Round and round, go round and round
<B7>  >  <A7>  

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)
