Size I Wear

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

[Verse 1]
     G                     D      
In a neighborhood bar not too far 
    G
from here
C                        G
Me and old John, we were chugging 
some beers
C                    G
Friday night about a half past ten
       A                   D
When a Flock of secretaries came 
strutting in
     G                       D    
The one in the front was a little 
    G
too tall
    C                         G
The one in the back, she was flat as
 a wall
        C                     G
But the one in the middle, as cute 
as could be
     A                    G
The one in the middle was looking at
 me

[Verse 2]
      G                         
I said ‘do you wanna dance,’ she 
      D       G
said ‘yes I do’
          C                        
We did the two-step shuffle and the
  G
 jitterbug too
    C                              
Now John didn’t like it but he was 
G
being a friend
           A                       
He danced with this one and that 
     D
one and this one again
   G                         D    
A slow song came on, we were 
      G
locked down tight
  C                             G
John said ‘hey buddy, you can’t hog 
her all night’
     C                            
Well you’re a mighty big feller but
