It's A Big Old Goofy World

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 houseI 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 fishThere's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh
baby
It's a big old goofy worldNow 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 wordKiss 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 clamSo 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.
It's another cold day here, I'm not expecting a record setting day of system maintenance today, maybe next week if it warms up.
Rocky is getting around really good now, he still can't jump up on the bed, but he's getting there. He's using his leg more now.
