  • She was five foot two, about ninety-five pounds
    She was round in the places she's supposed to be round
    You can take that waitress or the blonde over there
    But stand back John, that's the size I wear

    Hey!

    In a neighborhood bar not too far from here
    Me and old John, we were chucking some beers
    Friday night about a half past ten
    When a flock of secretaries came strutting in

    The one in the front was a little too tall
    The one in the back, she was flat as a wall
    But the one in the middle, as cute as could be
    The one in the middle was looking at me

    Yes, she was five foot two, about 95 pounds
    She was round in the places she's supposed to be round
    Now you can take the waitress or the blonde over there
    But stand back John, that's the size I wear

    I said "do you wanna dance," she said "yes I do"
    We did the two-step shuffle and the Jitterbug too
    Now John didn't like it but he was being a friend
    He danced with this one and that one and this one again

    A slow song came on, we were locked down tight
    John said "hey buddy, you can't hog her all night"
    Well you're a mighty big fella but I don't care
    Stand back John, that's the size I wear

    She was five foot two, about 95 pounds
    Round in the places she's supposed to be round
    Now you can take the waitress or the blonde over there
    But stand back John, that's the size I wear

    Now she was five foot two, about 95 pounds
    She was round in the places she's supposed to be round
    Now you can take the waitress or the blonde over there
    But stand back John, that's the size I wear

    Hey you're a mighty big fella but I don't care
    Stand back John, that's the size I wear

    Stand over there John, I'll be done in just a minute
