Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.comNow, I've got a gal
Shaped like a frog
Her voice remind me
Of an old bulldogHer hair looks just like
A chinchill-ie coat
An man if you get close
Up to that woman
She smells like a goatShe got b.o.
She keeps b.o all the time
And she thinks soap and water
Woo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crimeHer ears, is so long
Her nose, is so fat
Her head, is so big
She can't even wear a hatHer dogs is swolled
An she got one eye
Man, she looks like a wreck
That happened last JulyMan, ain't she ugly?
She got b.o. all the time
Man, that woman thinks soap an water
Man, is a doggone crimeShe must-a have been
Her mother's only child
She should-a been a gorilla
'Cause she sho' is wildShe got ways like a monkey
Sly as a fox
She should-a been on some chain gang
Man, breakin' up rocksMan, ain't she ugly?
An she keeps b.o. all the time
Man, that woman thinks soap an water
Hoo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crimeHer legs look like needles
An she ain't got no chin
She's a beautiful woman
For the shape she's inHer feets look like wings
Way out on a limb
That's just why her mother
Put her off on him!Man, ain't she ugly?
An she keeps b.o. all the time
Man, she thinks soap an water
Woo! Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime.~
