When Big Joan Sets Up |
| When Big Joan comes out, her arms are too small |
| Her head’s like a ball |
| She 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 |
| 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’m just sorta thread with a drooped body |
| I’ll set up with you, 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 |
| You know something’s happening or you wouldn’t have 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 |
| When Big Joan sets up, her hands are too small |
| She’s out of reach |
| A turquoise scarf and a silver robe rolled up over a Merc Montclair |
| I’ll sit up with you 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 |
| Hoy hoy |
| Is she a boy? |
