[Intro]
Hoy, hoy!
[Verse 1]
When Big Joan comes out
Her arms are too small
Her head's like a ball
She's tied off her horse
And galloped off into the moonbeams
She pulled up her blouse
And compared her navel to the moon
I dig my life for a while
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
When Big Joan sets up
Her hands are too small
She's too fat to go out in the daylight
So she rolls around all night
I just saw the thread with a drooped body
[Chorus]
I'll set up with ya, Big Joan
I'm too fat to go out in the daylight
I'll stay up all night
I won't droop if you won't talk
About your hands being too small
Hoy, hoy!
[Verse 1]
When Big Joan comes out
Her arms are too small
Her head's like a ball
She's tied off her horse
And galloped off into the moonbeams
She pulled up her blouse
And compared her navel to the moon
I dig my life for a while
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
When Big Joan sets up
Her hands are too small
She's too fat to go out in the daylight
So she rolls around all night
I just saw the thread with a drooped body
[Chorus]
I'll set up with ya, Big Joan
I'm too fat to go out in the daylight
I'll stay up all night
I won't droop if you won't talk
About your hands being too small
