[Verse 1]
G Forty-five minutes fifty-five cents C Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence G Singing, hey little brother D G Look what we got for you G We're gonna rope off an area and put on a show C From the Canadian border down to Mexico G It might be the most potentially gross D G Thing that we could possibly do
[Chorus]
D Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance G Make them pubescents all wet their pants A7 We'll record it live and that's no jive. D Hold it! Stop it! No! No! No! No! G Bang! went the pistol. Crash! went the window. C G D Ouch! went the son of a gun. Onomatopoeia I don't wanna see ya C G Speaking in a foreign tongue.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G Knock! Knock! Hello! Can I come in? C Gee, that was a wonderful show! G Oh, you haven't gone on yet? D G Well, how was I supposed to know? G Hey! We got a great date it's really downtown C We're gonna get the Grand Canyon to do the sound G It's a boxing ring but it might be the thing D G To really put you in the dough
[Chorus]
D Listen little brother, don't ya get us wrong G Why we even know the words to your song A7 Just say I do and we'll lay it on you D You! You! And me! Me! Me! G Bang! went the pistol. Crash! went the window. C G D Ouch! went the son of a gun. Onomatopoeia I don't wanna see ya C G Speaking in a foreign tongue.
