Thread Name: what's the worst song you ever heard?3
Subject: Lyr Add: GIRL ON THE BILLBOARD (from Red Sovine)
Here are the lyrics, Alice...

Doodle-de-do-doo, A-doodle-do-do-do
Who is the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway?
Rollin' down the highway in my Jimmy hauling freight
From Chicago to St. Louis, Lord, I see her every day
A double-clutchin' weasel like me can hardly ever
Get a girl to look at him that way
**Smiling like the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

Wow! what a girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
I bet it wouldn't take her very long to get gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away
I slow my Jimmy down to twenty
That's how many wrecks I see there every day
Caused by the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
A-doodle-do-do-doo, A-doodle-do-do-doo

Oh, I love the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
I guess I'm gettin' bolder 'cause I'd rather kiss and hold her
Than just keep a-lookin' at her every day
At 4:45 coffee drinkin' eatin' time Jimmy shimmied
While I woke up the artist that painted the display
Of the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

Doggone that girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
A sleepy headed painter said the girl wasn't real
And I'd better get the (#$%^&) on my way
On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago
You will find tiny pieces of my heart scattered every which-a-way
Shattered by the girl wearing nothing but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
A-doodle-do-do-doo, A-doodle-do-do-doo, A-doodle-do-do-doo (fade)
**A-doodle-do-do-doo, doodle-do-do-doo (fade)

I couldn't be bothered to put in all the line breaks. Pretty amazing lyric isn't it? Those country boys and truckers are pretty deep thinkers when y' git t' know 'em good...
