C Bb Am F No-ooow the show begins...Ahhhhhmm
[Verse 1]
C Bb Now our journey begins Am In the eighteen hundreds F In a little city in Missouri C Bb Before we start Am You decide on the names F Of all the people in our wagon party
[Pre-chorus]
Dm C You must decide who these pioneers are F G Are they carpenters or bankers or leavin' their farm? Dm C It's time to spin a personal yarn F G Carefully choose each name
[Chorus]
C Cause this is more than a game Bb It's more than a game Am Oh, yeah, it's more than a game F No two shows will ever be the same
[Verse 2]
C Bb Am My first pioneer will be President Polk F I know he'd be a good leader of the wagon C Bb Am Good job now, dear, that's what we're goin for F You'd be extra careful not to kill him C Bb Am I think I would use my mom and dad's names of course F So I'll make sure they'll never get divorced C Bb Am That might be too much information, but hey F It's great to have a personal connection
[Verse 3]
Am C I would make my family rich Dm G They'd be bankers from New York. Good. Am C Richie, Johnny, Emily and Peter and Sue Dm G Their bank fell down and now they're poor Am Am7 That's great kids, keep up the good work Dm G Hey, Grandpa, what would your names be? Oh, well let me tell ya: C Dm Am7 F Dick-suck, Dick-face, Hairy-tit, and Dr. Butt-nugget N.C. G Grandpa, the hell is that supposed to mean? What? They're names!
N.C.
Hairytit? Grandpa, you're seeing a bad example for our pioneers here
N.C.
You're going to make them think it's a good idea to name thEir
N.C.
WAgon party stUpiD tHIngS. Well, they should.
[Chorus]
C Dm We are gone to Oregon C/E F It's the greatest family vacation F It'll bring us together Am7 Couldn't think of nothin' better, hey! C G Time for some family fun
N.C.
On the trail to Oreg-un
C Bb Alright pioneers, what do you say? Am What would you like to name me, your wagon leader? F Jack Bauer! C Bb Am F Jack Bauer? I like the sound of that! Yeah!
[Verse 4]
C Bb Am I'm Jack Bauer, a farmer from Illinois F All my skills will be useless on the trail C Bb Am My beautiful family is counting on me F A lot of pressure, I can't afford to fail C Bb Alright pioneers, now what would you Am F Like to name your wagon mother? Slippery-When-Wet! C Bb Oh, that is- Slippery-When-Wet! Am F That's super sexy. Yeah!
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C I'm Slippery-When-Wet and I'm a mother of two F G Could've been a banker, guess a farmer will do Dm C F N.C. Why did you get to choose?
N.C.
Well honey, I don't know if you know this but, uh, I wrote the show
N.C.
That's just how this one goes. Yeah, but we're not going to get very
C Bb Far as a bunch of fucking farmers. Alright, honey! Am F Well, no wagon party is complete without a litter of younguns C Bb The eldest of which is Slippery-When-Wet and Jack Bauer's teenage daughter Am F C Bb What would you like to name her? Mouthface! Mouthface? I'll take it! Am F C And what about our all-American son with a face of an apple pie? Bb Am F Craphole! Hmm...Craphole? That sounds good! Yeah!
[Pre-chorus]
Am C Dm G Craphole, yeah that's me, I'm seven and I'm male Am C Mouthface, is what my friends call me Dm G I'm lookin' for love on the trail. Ew gross!
[Bridge]
Dm C I hope you're bit by a snake! I hope you break your back! Bb F Hey, I found wild fruit! Pay attention, Dad! Dm C We gonna stop at the forts? And I forgot to shave! F F# F Did we bring enough food? Can I write on Grandpa's grave? Dm C F N.C. Everyone just behave!
[Chorus]
C Because it's only a game Bb It's only a game Am It's only a game F The Trail To Oregon is nothing but a game C Dm We'll be there soon in Oreg-oon C/E F Honestly it beats milking cow tits F We could be in the kitchen Am7 Doing something with a chicken C G But we couldn't give less of a crap G N.C. Cause we're making it to Oreg-ap C Bb Alright, pioneers - let's get a move on Am F Wait a minute you shicken-kit son of a bitch! C Bb You forgot my name! How could I forget? Am F What would you like to name our lovely Grandpa? C Bb Am Titty-mitty! Titty-mitty?! I like that name! Course you do F (cheers)
[Chorus]
C Dm It's time to run to Oreg-un C/E F It's too late to change the show now F You could go next door Am7 And see something professional C G We wouldn't blame you a bit G N.C. If you're sitting through this Ore-shit C Dm We're Broadway bound in Oreg-ound C/E F Cause there's no Broadway in Chicago F Who will forget their name Am7 And who will get the YouTube fame? C G These are questions to ask G N.C. C Bb F When you're playing Oreg-ask...
[Outro]
C Bb F It's more than a game... C Bb F G Life is really great... C C C On the trail to Oreg-ate
