Hello, open the door up
Guess who's gonna ring your chimes
That's right, give me a big hug
You know I'll treat you right
Oh, girl, make it a quick one
I'm only here tonight
I know, sadder but wiser
I'm still the same old guy
Take a look at me
See, I couldn't look no better
Girl, I'm at the peak
And that's a fact, that's a fact
Take a part of me
You know it couldn't feel no better
Take it all with ease
Before you break your back
Or get a heart attack

I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a
Goodbye, sorry I can't stay
But I don't have much time
I've got a dozen or more babes
To see before I fly
Hot stuff, beggin' to see me
Why should they be deprived?
Come on, give me your blessin'
You're still the first in line

Take a look at me
See, I couldn't look no better
Girl, I'm at my peak
And that's a fact, that's a fact
Take a part of me
You know it couldn't feel no better
Make sure that you breathe
Before you break your back
Or get a heart attack

I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a

That's right, I got a lady
In every foreign port
Somewhere I even got me
A stranger by the shore
I know I'm going crazy
'Cause I want more and more
Sometimes I don't remember
Just who I'm looking for
Ha, ha, ha

I'm a wonderful thing, baby
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby, baby
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a
Such a wonderful thing

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, okay
Alright, hold it, hold it, hold it
Let's just, let's just start with the A's
I just wanna show you something
Let's just start with the A's, alright?
Now, there's Ada, right? Anna, right?
Anita, Anita too
Addy, you remember Addy, Addy
There's Abby, Abby Long
Abby Long up on, up on, uh, Southern Boulevard, heh, heh
You remember Abby Long, right?
And there's Amanda, Amanda Blue
Amanda Blue, my Amanda Blue
How many is that?
I ain't countin'
There's more, there's more
There's Sophie
Ho-ho-hold it, ho-ho-hold it
Who's Sophie?
I thought you were talking about the A's
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Hold it, hold it, hold it
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Hey, you want me to move on to the B's?
Ha, ha, ha
The B's (I'm a wonderful thing, baby)
Bonnie, Becca
Becca! Ha, ha, ha
