[Verse]
Gonna tell you
a story you w
on't believe
But I fell in
love last Frid
ay evening
With a girl I
saw on the bar
room TV scree
n
Well I was jus
t getting read
y to grab my h
at
When she caugh
t my eye and I
put it back
And I ordered
myself a coupl
e more shots a
nd beers
[Chorus]
The night that
I fell in lov
e with a Rolle
r Derby Queen
(round and round, oh round and round)
Meanest hunk o
f woman that a
nybody ever se
en
Down in the arena
[Verse]
She was five-f
oot-six and tw
o-fifteen
A bleached-blo
nd mama with a
streak of mea
n
She knew how t
o knuckle and
she knew how t
o scuffle and
fight
The roller der
by program sai
d
That she was b
uilt like a 'f
rigerator with
a head
Her fans calle
d her Tuffy Bu
t all her budd
ies called her
Spike
[Chorus]
The night that
I fell in lov
e with a Rolle
r Derby Queen
(round and round, oh round and round)
Meanest hunk o
f woman that a
nybody ever se
en
Down in the arena
[Bridge]
Round and roun
d, go round an
d round
Round and roun
d, go round an
d round
[Verse]
Well I could n
ot help it but
I fell in lov
e
With this heav
y duty woman I
've been speak
ing of
Things were ki
nda bad till t
he day she ska
ted into my li
fe
Well she might
be nasty, and
she might be
fat
But I never me
t a person who
would tell he
r that
She's my bleac
h blonde bombe
r, my heavy-ha
nded hackensac
k mama
[Chorus]
The night that
I fell in lov
e with a Rolle
r Derby Queen
(round and round, oh round and round)
Meanest hunk o
f woman that a
nybody ever se
en
Down in the arena
[Bridge]
Round and roun

Round and roun
