[Intro]
G   C   D
[Verse 1]
G                  C
Up in the morning, work like a dog
     D                          C         G
It's better than sittin' like a bump on a log
G                  C
Mind your manners, be quiet as a mouse
    D                            C           G
Someday you'll own a home that's as big as a house
G               C
I know a fella, eats like a horse
D                               C        G
Knocks his old balls around the old golf course
G                    C
You oughta see wife, she's a cute little dish
    D                         C             G
She smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish
[Chorus]
          G
There's a big ole goofy man
                C
Dancin' with a big ole goofy girl
D                 C             G
Oooh baby, it's a big ole goofy world
[Verse 2]
G                 C
Elvis had a woman with a head like a rock
  D                       C             G
I wish I had a woman that made my knees knock
G                        C
She'd sing like an angel and eat like a bird
    D                             C            G
And if I wrote a song, she'd know every single word
[Chorus]
          G
There's a big ole goofy man
               C
Dancin' with a big ole goofy girl
D                 C             G
Oooh baby, it's a big ole goofy world
[Instrumental]
G    C   D    C  G
G    C   D    C  G
[Verse 3]
G                   C
Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
    D                   C                G
And if you take an inch, give them back a mile
G                                   C
Cause if you lie like a rug and you don't give a damn
     D              C             G
You're never gonna be as happy as a clam
G                   C
Sittin' in a hotel, trying to write a song
   D                     C             G
My head is just as empty as the day is long
G                         C
Why it's clear as a bell, I should have gone to school
    D                               C                G
I'd be wise as an owl, instead of stubborn as a mule
[Chorus]
          G
There's a big ole goofy man
               C
Dancin' with a big ole goofy girl
D                 C             G
Oooh baby, it's a big ole goofy world
D                 C             G
Oooh baby, it's a big ole goofy world
