Roller Derby Queen

Roller Derby Queen

Jim Croce

Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe

But I fell in love last Friday evenin'

With a girl I saw, on a bar room t.v. screen

Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat.

When she caught my eye and I put it back.

And I ordered myself a couple 'o more shots and beers

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

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk 'o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

She was five foot six and two fifteen

A bleached-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 call her tuffy

But all her buddies called her spike

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round

Well I could not help it

But to fall in love

With this heavy-duty woman

I been, speakin' of

Things looked kind of 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

Shes my bleached blonde bomber

My heavy handed Hackensack mama

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round

I have to ride through Hackensack later today and I'll think of this song. I quote this song a lot too....at odd times in odd ways i guess...a classic by Jim Croce.

Good lord I loved this song as a little girl. I used to sing it as I roller skated around our garage.
