[Intro]
Gm Hey Ladies, Sit down, relax Cm Bb I got a story to tell...
[Verse 1]
Cm Every night I lie awake Bb With sorrow in my chest Cm I think of NPH and wonder Bb Is he getting rest? Gm Does he know each second Cm He’s only second best? Eb Tossing in his bed F What’s he wearing? Dread?
[Chorus]
Bb I’m better Gm Better than Neil F In so many ways Eb It’s almost unreal Bb Oh sure he can sing Gm And piggies can squeal F It’s not a big deal Eb I’m better
[Verse 2]
Cm So he was on Broadway Bb While I was on the soaps Cm Who’s got the high score Bb on "Ninja Ropes" Gm Who’s got a bullet-proof Cm Car like the Pope’s? Eb Look at Neil mackin’ F So sad he’s so lackin’
[Verse 3]
Cm He makes seven figures Bb And get Emmy nods Cm I make seven layer Bb Bean dip of the gods Gm I’m also in Halo 3 Cm What are the odds? Eb Now my ears are ringin’ F ‘Cause all the girls are singin’
[Chorus]
Bb I’m better Gm Better than Neil F At so many things Eb It’s hard to conceal Bb Oh sure he does magic Gm Magic’s not real F How dumb do you feel? Eb I’m better
[Verse 4]
Cm Neil played a kid doctor Bb Well, so did I, dude Cm But I was much younger Bb And totally nude Gm Neil kept that white coat on Cm Great Doctor Prude Eb Look there Felicia goes F Another deal you couldn’t close, yeah
[Verse 5]
Cm I wink at a woman Bb She needs a drink - Stat! Cm She knows I get everything Bb I’m aiming at Gm Except for the Pope car Cm I lied about that Eb At least I’m not prone F To singing alone
[Bridge]
Bb Look at his smallness Gm Compared to my tallness Cm My porcelain doll-ness F My port-in-a-squallness Bb My kids-in-the-Hallness Gm My Pink-Floyd’s "The Wall"-ness Cm My three parts of gaulness F My just all-in-allness Bb My wonderful me-ness F Dm My hammer - the people can tell Eb Dm That I’m awfully swell Eb Dm While Neil has a weird smell Eb F I’m just saying: Purell
[Chorus]
Bb I’m better Gm Better than Neil F At - where do I start? Eb Romantic appeal Bb We both went for Penny Gm And who copped a feel? F The true man of steel Eb I’m better than Neil
[Chorus]
Bb Yeah yeah yeah Gm I’m better than Neil F Just jumped off a moving Eb Automobile Bb He plays with his phone Gm While tires they squeal F It’s my scene to steal Eb I' m better than Neil
[Outtro]
Bb Gm F Eb Oo oo oo oo... improv, repeat until tired
