Goodness gracious, Grandpa's afire.
Goodness, gracious, great balls o' fire.
Goodness, gracious, Grandpa's on fire!
Goodness, gracious, great balls o' fire!
I cut my nails and I quiver my thumbs.
or
I bite my nails and I twiddle my thumbs.
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs.
You broke my wheel.
You broke my will.
You broke my wind.
You broke my will.
You shake my nerves and you ride on my brain
Too much along drives a man insane.
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane.
Couldn't disgrace these great balls of fire
Goodness Gracious great balls of fire
Goodness, gracious, Grape-Nuts of fire
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
Goodness, great, my balls are on fire
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
I chew my nails and my nipples are numb
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I had to love but I thought it was money
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was money
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine-ine.
I wanna tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine-ine.
To hide your love to drive a man insane
Too bad your love drives a man insane
You broke my grill
You broke my will
You broke my leg
You broke my will
You broke my ribs
You broke my will
You broke my well
You broke my will
You broke my wheel, but what a thrill
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
You broke my wheel
You broke my will
You shake my Nerf and you rattle my brain
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
You shake my nerd and you rattle my braids
You shake my nerve and you rattle my brain
You shave my nuts and you rattle my brain
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
You're fine, so kind,
I'm gonna tell this world
That you're Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine!
You're fine, so kind,
I'm gonna tell this world
That you're Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
