Vital Statistics Lyrics

Peggy Seeger Vital Statistics

He was sittin' at the bar when she come walkin' in
He looked her up and down and turned to the barman with a grin
"Hey Joe, get a load of that
Oh what a bit of stuff
38-26-38
That just about sums her up"

He whistled and winked as she looked around and went to joined her friend
Stamped his feet, clapped his hands the show is just for him
"38-D the size for me!" he called in a raucus voice
"She's the sort who's there to sort the men out from the boys"

She came to the bar called to her friend
"Hey Maggie, come and see
A prime example of 42-52-41 3"
Says "Hey now don't get personal
No need to talk like that
I thought you were a lady
I only wanted to chat
I was only being friendly Joe, she went and took it wrong
But if she's going to get personal
I'll be movin' along"

She says "3 is just what nature gave when she put you on the shelf
You've only got one personal thing
The thing you made yourself
From the bottom up let's have a look
And see what makes the hero
3 41-52-42 0"
