Lyrics:
Gonna tell you a story, that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evening
With the girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
Well I was just getting ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye, and I put it back
And I ordered myself couple of more shots and beers

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
around and round, go round and round
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

She was 5 foot 6, two fifteen
A bleach blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
that she was built like a 'fridgerator with a head
Her fans called her Tuffy, but all her buddies called her Spike

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
around and round, go round and round
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

Heee! That was ridiculously amusing. I love the way you set up the intro and then proceeded to argue your case so... eloquently. Particularly liked John's "fans". And his chokeholds. And the fridge joke, because I'm totally cheap like that *g*

Thank you! I have a mind palace's worth of thoughts about how John Watson performs his masculinity, and it was all captured quite well in this song. The next verse contains the lyric "Things were kinda bad until the day she skated into my life," which is perfect for the first time Sherlock laid eyes on John and what's happened since... but Bironic very rightly said that when the case is made it's time to stop. :)

The 'fridgerator joke just had to go in there. ♥
