[Verse]
E7Gonna tell you a story you won't believe
But I A7fell in love last Friday evening
With B7a girl I saw on the A7bar room TV screE7en
E7Well I was just getting ready to grab my hat
When A7she caught my eye and I put it back
And I B7ordered myself a couple more A7shots and beersE7  
[Chorus]
E7The night that GI fell in love with a A7Roller Derby QE7ueen
(round and round, oh round and round)
GMeanest hunk of women that A7anybody ever B7seen
Down in the arena
[Verse]
E7She was five-foot-six and two-fifteen
A blA7eached-blond mama with a streak of mean
She B7knew how to knuckle and she A7knew how to scuffle and E7fight
E7The roller derby program said
That A7she was built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her B7fans called her Tuffy But A7all her buddies called her E7Spike

E7Well she might be nasty, and she might be fat
But I A7never met a person who would tell her that
She's B7my bleach blonde bomber, my A7heavy-handed hackensack E7mama
[Chorus]
E7The night that GI fell in love with a A7Roller Derby QE7ueen

[Verse]

Gonna tell you a story you won't believe

But I fell in love last Friday evening

B7 A7 E7

With a girl I saw on the bar room TV screen

Well I was just getting ready to grab my hat

When she caught my eye and I put it back

B7 A7 E7

And I ordered myself a couple more shots and beers

[Chorus]

E7 G A7 E7

The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

(round and round, oh round and round)

G A7 B7

Meanest hunk of women that anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

[Verse]

She was five-foot-six and two-fifteen

A bleached-blond mama with a streak of mean

B7 A7 E7

She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight

The roller derby program said

That she was built like a 'frigerator with a head

B7 A7 E7

Her fans called her Tuffy But all her buddies called her Spike

[Chorus]

E7 G A7 E7

The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

(round and round, oh round and round)

Round and round, go round and round

B7 A7 E7

Well I could not help it but I fell in love

With this heavy duty women I've been speaking of

B7 A7 E7

Things were kinda bad till 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

B7 A7 E7

She's my bleach blonde bomber, my heavy-handed hackensack mama

[Chorus]

E7 G A7 E7

The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

(round and round, oh round and round)
