[Verse 1]
Man-eating momma, steam-driven hammer
Sorts the men out from the boys
Takes no messing, all-in wrestling

Barroom fighter
Ten pint a nighter

Diamond cluster
Knuckle duster
Feline on the borderline
[Chorus]
Rocka Rolla woman for a Rocka Rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka Rolla woman for a Rocka Rolla man
You can take her if you want her you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her you can
[Chorus repeats as the song fades]
