The girl on the billboard

Doo da doo doo doo  A doo da doo doo doo

Who is the girl wearing nothing but a smile
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway?
Rolling down the highway in my Jimmy hauling freight
from Chicago to St. Louis Lord I see her every day
A double clutching weasel like me can hardly ever
get a girl to look at him that way

(Chorus:)
[Of/by*] the girl wearing nothing but a smile
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway

Well, what a girl wearing nothing but a smile
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway
I bet it wouldn't take her very long to be gone
if someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away
I slow my Jimmy down to 20 that's how many wrecks
I see there every day caused

Chorus*

A doo da doo doo doo  A doo da doo doo doo

Oh I love the girl wearing nothing but a smile
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway
I guess I'm getting bolder
'cause I'd rather kiss and hold her
than just keep a lookin' at her everyday
At 4:45 coffee drinking eating time Jimmy shimmies
while I wake up the artist who painted the display

Chorus

Of the girl wearing nothing but a smile
and a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway
Sleepy headed painter said the girl wasn't real
Better get the ... on my way
On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago
You'll find tiny pieces of my heart 
scattered every which-a way, scattered

Chorus*

A doo da doo doo doo  A doo da doo doo doo
Dee da dee dee doo Doo da doo doo doo....(fade)
