[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Em/B Am Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true Dm Em Fm G I want everyone to listen and believe C Em/B Am It's about some little people from a long time ago Bb Eb Ab G And all the things the neighbors didn't know C Em/B Am Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work Dm Em Fm G Selling lamps and chairs to San Ber'dino Squares C Em/B Am And I still remember mama with her apron and her pad Bb Am D Feeding all the boys in Ed's Cafe
[Chorus]
G F G F/A Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day G Am Bm D Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away G F Eb D And all the while on a shelf in a shed Fm G Kenny's little creature's on display
[Verse 2]
C Em/B Am Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room Dm Em Fm G A marvel to be seen; dysentery green C Em/B Am While Kenny and his buddies had a game out in the back F G Am LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK!
[Bridge]
Em A We see them after school in a world of their own Em A To some it might seem creepy what they do... Em C B The neighbors on the right sat and watched them every night Em D I bet you'd do the same if they was you
[Chorus]
G F G F/A Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day G Am Bm D Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away G F Eb D And all the while on a shelf in a shed Fm G Kenny's little creature's on display
[Verse 3]
C Em/B Am Ronnie's in the Army now and Kenny's taking pills Dm Em Fm G Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn! C Em/B Am Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine! F G Am Wait till the fire turns green... F G Am Wait till the fire turns green... F G A WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!
