D                      G
If I could be anything in the world that flew

D                         G
I would be a bat and come swooping after you

    D                               C                   G
And if the last time you were here, they were a bit coo-coo
[Pre-chorus]
          Eb   Eb/D Eb      Eb/E  F     F4    F
Well, you know what happens after dark

       Eb         Eb/D       Eb   Eb/E      F     F4    F
When rattlesnakes lose their skin and their hearts

    Eb      Eb/D  Eb     Eb/E       F     F4    F
And all the missionaries lose their bark
[Chorus]
    C                 F             G
Oh, all the trees are calling after you

    C             F             G
And all the venom snipers after you

    C                 F             G
Are all the mountains boulder after you
[Verse]
D                     G
If I could be any one of the things in the world that bite

   D
Instead of an indentured ocelot on a leash

G
I'd rather be a kite

       D
And be tied to the end of your string

C                    G
Flying in the air at night
[Pre-chorus]
            Eb   Eb/D      Eb        Eb/E  F     F4    F
Because you know what they say about honey bears

         Eb    Eb/D Eb        Eb/E F     F4    F
When you shave off  all their baby hair

Eb         Eb/D  Eb     Eb/E      F     F4    F
You have a hairy-minded pink bare bear
[Chorus]
    C                 F               G
And all the bells are rolling out for you

    C                   F               G
And all the stones are erupting out for you

        C                  F                        G
Aaaaand all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you
[Guitar solo] C F C G C F C G [Verse]
D                                  G
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were grooving on the street

    D                         G
And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet

    D                                           C                 G
Her belly button was her mouth, which meant she tasted what she'd speak
[Pre-chorus]
        Eb          Eb/D    Eb       Eb/E   F     F4    F
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose

   Eb   Eb/D     Eb          Eb/E   F     F4    F
It grew until it reached all of her toes

     Eb          Eb/D    Eb               Eb/E     F     F4    F
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose
[Chorus]
    C                F                       G
And all the curtains laced with diamonds for you

    C             F            G
And all the Roman noblemen for you

    C                   F                  G
And kingdom's Christian sailors, dear, for you

    C               F                G
And melting ice cap mountaintops for you

    C                  F                G
And knights in flaming silver robes for you

    C                F                    G
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
[Outro]
    C                 F               G
                      Swoop, swoop          Rock, rock

    C                 F               G
                      Roll, roll            Swoop, swoop

    C                 F               G
                      Rock, rock            Roll, roll
