When Big Joan Sets Up lyrics

[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

[Verse 3]

You know something's happening

Or you wouldn't of come out like you did

She ain't built for going naked

So she can't wear any new clothes

Or go to the beach

They laugh at her body

Cause her hands are too small

[Verse 4]

When big Joan sits up

Her hands are too small

She's outta reach

A turquoise scarf and silver

Rolled up over a Merc Montclair

[Chorus]

I'll sit up with ya, Big Joan

I'm too fat to go out in the daytime

I'll stay up all night

If you promise not to talk

About your hands being too small

[Outro]

Hoy, hoy, is she a boy?
