Dolly Parton loves boob jokes more than most 16-year-old dudes, but that's because she believes her set will outlast, well, her.

"I can just see two big mountains growing up out of my grave, and people going around on mule rides to look at them," Parton said at a Songwriters Hall of Fame dinner last night, Thursday, June 07.


She was awarded the Johnny Mercer Award by the HOF, to which she was inducted in 2001. Parton said songwriting is her favorite thing to do and that it is her "private time with God ... even when the songs I'm writing are just God-awful."

But, prepare yourself for boob-joke number two:

"Throughout my whole career, I've been known for two things. I'm talking about my music and my lyrics," Parton said.

She later performed "9 to 5" for attendees.
