lyrics

My old lady wants me to treat her like her name is Brittney Spears.
The onliest thing is the poor old gal ain’t got but two tin ears,
Weighs about a half a ton and that ain’t counting what she put on today.
My girlfriend thinks she’s a rock star but she’s built like a bale of hay.

She polished up them toenails. Armani cosmetics are on her face.
She bosses me around like she owns my whole damn place.
When she makes a beeline for the fridge, well I’d better clear out of her way.
My girlfriend thinks she’s a big ol’ star but she’s built like a bale of hay.

She always likes to berate me ‘cause I ain’t as pretty as Johnny Depp.
And I ain’t as handsome as Bradley Pitt, so I’d better watch my step.
She tips the scales at about ten times what Angelina Jolie weighs.
My girlfriend things she’s a movie star but she’s built like a bale of hay.

If she really was a haystack, she could feed a Clydesdale horse.
And, if you could fit that horse into a frying pan, she’d eat him for a second course.
You’d be far more likely to see her with Mr. Ed than Doris Day.
My girlfriend thinks she’s a TV star but she’s built like a bale of hay.

She always wanted her presence to be felt both near and far.
They feel tremors over in Uzbekistan when she dances the cha cha cha.
She’s bummed out that she’s got to be stuck with me instead of Laurence Olivier.
My girlfriend thinks she’s a movie star but she’s built like a bale of hay.
