  • Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
    But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
    With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
    Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
    When she caught my eye and I put it back
    And I ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers

    [Chorus]
    The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen
    (Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
    The meanest hunk o' woman
    That anybody ever seen
    Down in the arena

    She is a five foot six and two fifteen
    A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
    She knew how to knuckle
    And she knew how to scuffle and fight
    And the roller derby program said
    That she were built like a 'fridgerator with a head
    The fans called her "Tuffy"
    But all her buddies called her "Spike"

    [Chorus]

    Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

    Well I could not help it but to fall in love
    With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin' of
    Things looked kind of bad
    Until the day she skated into my life

    Well she might be nasty she might be fat
    But I never met a person who would tell her that
    She's my big blonde bomber
    My heavy handed Hackensack mama

    [Chorus]

    Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round [Repeat: x 3] Writer/s: Jim Croce
