Roller Derby Queen

Jim Croce

Transposer:

Gonna tell you a story you won’t believe    But I fell in love last Friday evening    With a girl I saw on the bar room TV screen                         Well I was just getting ready to get my hat    When she caught my eye and I put it back    And I ordered myself a couple more shots and beers                         The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen          (round and round oh round and round)    Meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen                           Down in the arena     She was five-foot-six and two-fifteen    A bleached-blond mama with a streak of mean    She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight                                         The roller derby program said    That she was built like a ’frigerator with a head    Her fans called her Tuffy But all her buddies called her Spike                         (Chorus)    (BRIDGE)    Round and round go round and round    Round and round go round and round                      Well I could not help it but I fell in love    With this heavy duty women I’ve been speaking of    Things were kinda bad till the day she skated into my life                                   Well she might be nasty and she might be fat    But I never met a person who would tell her that    She’s my big blonde bomber my heavy-handed hackensack mama                                       (Chorus)   (BRIDGE)

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui tombe amoureux d'une femme impressionnante qu'il aperçoit à la télévision, alors qu'il se prépare à quitter un bar. Ce n’est pas n’importe quelle femme : elle est grande, musclée et a un caractère bien trempé, capable de se défendre sur la piste de roller derby. Le narrateur évoque son admiration pour son audace, malgré son apparence imposante. L'ambiance se déroule dans un cadre typiquement américain, où le roller derby attire une foule enthousiaste. La relation décrite évoque une forme d'amour inconditionnel, ne se souciant pas des jugements extérieurs. C'est une célébration de la diversité et de l'attrait que l'on peut éprouver pour des personnes hors des normes conventionnelles.
