Build Me A Woman Lyrics

I got a witness, babe.
Yeah, come on.
I got a witness, babe.
Give me a witness, darling.
I need a witness, babe.
Whoa right.
I need - yeah.
Whoa right.
Yeah.

I got the poontang blues, yeah.
I got the poontang blues, yeah.
Top of my head down
To the bottom of my cowboy shoes, all right.

Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
You got to build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her ugly,
Don't make her small.
Don't make her ugly,
Don't make her, whoa, small.

Sunday trucker,
Christian motherfucker.
Yeah. Hey, hey.
Well, I'm a Sunday trucker,
Christian motherfucker.
Whoa, right.

I'm just a three-eyed boy
Looking for a twelve-toed girl.

You got to build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her ugly,
Don't make her small.
Build me someone I can ball
All night long.

I understand it perfectly. I was referring to the way he phrased his comment

An error occured.

poontang = womens genitalia. about being horney and needing to get LAID

An error occured.

the fact that he's insulting others' intelligence level when he doesn't even know the difference between "your" and "you're" is quite funny

An error occured.

According to Ray Manzarek it's a song about Jim wanting a big fat woman who can give him lots of love and cook him meals and stuff.

My Interpretation

LOL. He doesn't want her ugly but he wants her with twelve toes:) Funny tune.

An error occured.

The religious (christian, Sunday) reference indicates that he wants to return to a state of grace in the Garden of Eden and have God build him a woman to his specifications.
