[Verse 1]
G Forty-five minutes, fifty-five cents C Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence G D G Saying, hey little brother look what we got for you
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 D Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance G Make them pubescents all wet their pants A We'll record it live and that's no jive D Hold it, stop it, no, no, no, no
[Chorus 1]
G Bang went the pistol, crash went the window C Ouch went the son of a gun G D Onomatopoeia, I don't wanna see ya C D G Speaking in a foreign tongue
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G Knock, knock, hello, can I come in? C Gee, it was a wonderful show C Oh, you haven't gone on yet? D G Well, how was I supposed to know?
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 D Well listen little brother, don't you get us wrong G Why we even know one of the words to your song A D Just say I do and we'll lay it on you
You, you, and me, me, me, me
[Chorus 2]
