 Now, I've got a gal
 Shaped like a frog
 Her voice remind me
 Of an old bulldog
 Her hair looks just like
 A chinchill-ie coat
 An man if you get close
 Up to that woman
 She smells like a goat
 She got b.o.
 She keeps b.o all the time
 And she thinks soap and water
 Woo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime
 Her ears, is so long
 Her nose, is so fat
 Her head, is so big
 She can't even wear a hat
 Her dogs is swolled
 An she got one eye
 Man, she looks like a wreck
 That happened last July
 Man, ain't she ugly?
 She got b.o. all the time
 Man, that woman thinks soap an water
 Man, is a doggone crime
 She must-a have been
 Her mother's only child
 She should-a been a gorilla
 'Cause she sho' is wild
 She got ways like a monkey
 Sly as a fox
 She should-a been on some chain gang
 Man, breakin' up rocks
 Man, ain't she ugly?
 An she keeps b.o. all the time
 Man, that woman thinks soap an water
 Hoo, Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime
 Her legs look like needles
 An she ain't got no chin
 She's a beautiful woman
 For the shape she's in
 Her feets look like wings
 Way out on a limb
 That's just why her mother
 Put her off on him!
 Man, ain't she ugly?
 An she keeps b.o. all the time
 Man, she thinks soap an water
 Woo! Lord, Lord, is a doggone crime.
