I tell ya she's a heart breaker

And you can't tell me she ain't

There's a little devil in her

Under all that powder and paint

And she can hang you up every night

And get you so uptight

She's 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,

She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynomite

I tell you half a ton of sugar ain't half as sweet as her

She can change and rearrange you

Till you can't tell what you were

And it don't even pay to fight

'Cause she don't know wrong from right

She's 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,

She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynomite

And she may look like an angel

But she's made out of TNT

She's a little bitty babe of explosivity

Yeah but when she holds you tight

She's some kind of outa sight

She's 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,

I said 99 pounds of some kind of dynomite

I said 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds
