Walking down the street one day I said, Hey there m'lady
You sure look good to me and I'd like to make you my baby
She said swell I felt good I thought I ought to keep her
But the price of eggs went up that day and they ain't never got no cheaper
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart-heart-heart
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart
Hey hear Mac! Yeah!
Well, diamonds look like glass, a star looks like a planet
A heart of gold weights about the same as a heart that's made of granite
And you can't tell a queen these days from some old high-class floozy
I ain't a king but I know by now I should-a been a little more choosy
Hee-hee
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart-heart-heart
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart
Now, I'm not an educated feller I didn't go to a fancy school
But I can count and read and write and tell a horse from a mule
Hee-hee-hee, ha-ha-ha!
Don't try to judge a woman boy its bound to bring you tears
There's many different kinds my boy but they all got the same size ears
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart-heart-heart
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart
She was a T-bone talkin' woman but she had a hotdog heart
