  • Hello, open the door up
    Guess who's gonna ring your chimes
    That's right, give me a big hug
    You know I'll treat you right
    Oh, girl, make it a quick one
    I'm only here tonight
    I know, sadder but wiser
    I'm still the same old guy
    Take a look at me
    See, I couldn't look no better
    Girl, I'm at the peak
    And that's a fact, that's a fact
    Take a part of me
    You know it couldn't feel no better
    Take it all with ease
    Before you break your back
    Or get a heart attack

    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Such a, such a
    (Wonderful)
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Such a, such a
    Goodbye, sorry I can't stay
    But I don't have much time
    I've got a dozen or more babes
    To see before I fly
    Hot stuff, beggin' to see me
    Why should they be deprived?
    Come on, give me your blessin'
    You're still the first in line

    Take a look at me
    See, I couldn't look no better
    Girl, I'm at my peak
    And that's a fact, that's a fact
    Take a part of me
    You know it couldn't feel no better
    Make sure that you breathe
    Before you break your back
    Or get a heart attack

    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Such a, such a
    (Wonderful)
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Such a, such a

    That's right, I got a lady
    In every foreign port
    Somewhere I even got me
    A stranger by the shore
    I know I'm going crazy
    'Cause I want more and more
    Sometimes I don't remember
    Just who I'm looking for
    Ha, ha, ha

    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    (Wonderful)
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby, baby
    (Wonderful)
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Such a, such a
    Such a wonderful thing

    Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, okay
    Alright, hold it, hold it, hold it
    Let's just, let's just start with the A's
    I just wanna show you something
    Let's just start with the A's, alright?
    Now, there's Ada, right? Anna, right?
    Anita, Anita too
    Addy, you remember Addy, Addy
    There's Abby, Abby Long
    Abby Long up on, up on, uh, Southern Boulevard, heh, heh
    You remember Abby Long, right?
    And there's Amanda, Amanda Blue
    Amanda Blue, my Amanda Blue
    How many is that?
    I ain't countin'
    There's more, there's more
    There's Sophie
    Ho-ho-hold it, ho-ho-hold it
    Who's Sophie?
    I thought you were talking about the A's
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Hold it, hold it, hold it
    I'm a wonderful thing, baby
    Hey, you want me to move on to the B's?
    Ha, ha, ha
    The B's (I'm a wonderful thing, baby)
    Bonnie, Becca
