Ain’t (Bb)noth in’ in this world like a big eyed girl to make me (F)act so fun ny, make me spend my mon ey, make me (C7)feel real loose like a long necked goose, like a (CN.C.)girl.

Chan til ly lace and a pret ty face and a po ny tail hang in’ down, wig gle in her (C7)walk and a gig gle in her talk

(F)makes the world go ’round.
