[Verse 1]
Em C I didn't ask to be famous Em C But I'm not sore Em C Em C Cause you can see my face in the window of every store Em C You can buy my lunch box Em C You can wear my clothes Em C Em C You can see my name, just as plain as the face under your nose
[Chorus]
G Am F I'm a new kid on the block G Am F Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach G Am F So we may not write the songs we sing G Am F But look at Elvis, he sold his soul and you crowned him king

[Verse 2]
Em C I didn't ask to be famous Em C But I'm not sad Em C Em C ya see I've got everything that I always wished I had Em C in fact my mind, I'm tired Em C I thank the screaming girls Em C Em C ooh, ooh I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F now I'm a new kid on the block G Am F well I'm 23 and they won't let me grow up mmm G Am F I went down to register for the draft G Am F well I got up to the counter and the lady there just laughed
[Chorus]
G Am F she said to her new kid on the block G Am F young girls scream and old boys mock G Am F well you broke my youngest daughter's heart G Am F well I knew you kids were trouble from the start

Em C Em C I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sure Em C Em C that were as apple pie as you always thought we were Em C Em C I can stay up all night, I can have a blast Em C Em C I can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass
[Chorus]
G Am F I'm a new kid on the block G Am F Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach G Am F there's no need to be afraid of us G Am F though it just might be your daughter on our bus G Am F I'm a new kid on the block G Am F Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach G Am F there's no need to be afraid of us G Am F though it just might be your daughter on our bus (hey!)
