Girl on the Billboard Songtext
von Del Reeves

Doodle, doo doo-doo
A-doodle, 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
Smiling like 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 get gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away


I slowed my Jimmy down to twenty
That's how many wrecks I see there every day
Caused 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

A-doodle, doo doo-doo
A-doodle, doo doo-doo

Oh, I loved 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 every day

At 4:45 coffee-drinkin′ eatin' time
Jimmy shimmied while I woke up the artist who painted the display
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

Doggone that 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
And I'd 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
Shattered 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

A-doodle, doo doo-doo
A-doodle, doo doo-doo
Doodle, doo doo-doo
A-doodle, doo doo-doo
Doodle, doo-doo
