Lyrics

Lyrics:John Prine Music:John Prine
Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
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 fella
He eats like a horse
Knocks his old balls
Round the old golf course
You oughta 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
Ooh baby
It's a big old goofy world
Now elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished 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 ever single word
Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna be
As happy as a clam
So 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
Stead of stubborn as a mule.

Lyrics: John Prine Music: John Prine
Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
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 fella
He eats like a horse
Knocks his old balls
Round the old golf course
You oughta 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
Ooh baby
It' s a big old goofy world
Now elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished 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 ever single word
Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give ' em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don' t give a damn
You' re never gonna be
As happy as a clam
So 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
Stead of stubborn as a mule.
