The other night me and my girl went bowling
The other night me and my girl went bowling
Went to a place called Joe's that's where everybody goes
When we walked in she turned every face in the place
When we walked in she turned every face in the place
A cool number jumped up and made a play for my girl
I said "Come on boy"
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
"Oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"
Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the music was a-rockin' and the place was a-jumpin' with jive
Well the same cool number made the same wrong move
I hit him in the head
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
"Oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
I said "Don't mess with me cos I got a cast iron arm"
"Oh when you you mess with me that only rings my alarm"
