So round, so firm, so fully packed, that's my gal
So complete from front to back, that's my pal
Toasted by the sun and I'm a son-of-a-gun
If she don't make my five o'clock shadow come around at one

You can bet your boots I'd walk a mile through the snow
Just to see that toothpaste smile they mention on the radio
If you don't think she's a lot of fun, just ask the man that owns one
So round, so firm, so fully packed, that's my gal

So round, so firm, so fully packed, boy, she's for me
She's just like a money-back guarantee
Like the barfly goes for drink, like the bobbysoxer goes for Frank
And just like Jesse James would go for money in the bank

From head to foot she's a perfect size, she's a whiz
But she wears a 45, gun that is
She's got the look that's so impressin', she's got the poise that's so
refreshin'
So round, so firm, so fully packed, that's my gal

She's done told me that I'm top hand
Won't be long 'til she wears my brand
So round, so firm, so fully packed, that's my gal
