[Intro] Eb Db Ab Eb [Verse 1]
Eb                      Db
   My mama told me when I was hatched

Ab                   Eb Db
Act like a superstar

Eb                            Db
   Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress

Ab
And someday you will go far

Eb                            Db
Now on red carpets, well, I'm hard to miss

          Ab
The press follows everywhere I go

Eb                               Db
   I'll poke your eye out with a dress like this

Ab
Back off and enjoy the show!
[Chorus]
            Eb                         Db
I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display

               Ab                 Eb
Well, they can bite me, baby—I perform this way!

           Eb                             Db
I might be wearing Swiss cheese or may be covered with bees

           Ab                  Eb
It doesn't mean I'm crazy—I perform this way! Form this way

Eb
Ooh, my little monsters pay

Db
Lots ’cause I perform this way

Ab                    Eb
Baby, I perform this way. Form this way

Eb
Ooh, don't worry, I'm okay

Db
Hey, I just perform this way

Ab                 Eb
I'm not crazy—I perform this way
[Bridge] N.C I'll be a troll or evil queen N.C I'll be a human jelly bean N.C 'Cause every day is Halloween N.C For me... [Verse]
Eb                   Db
   I'm so completely original

Ab                         Db
My new look is all the rage

Eb                                Db
   I'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neck

        Ab
And set fire to myself on stage

Eb                       Db
   I'll wear a porcupine on my head

     Ab
On a W-H-I-M (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Eb                           Db
  And for no reason now I'll sing in French

Ab
Excusez-moi, qui a pété? (Express yourself!)
[Chorus]
                Eb                         Db
Got my straight jacket today, it's made of gold lamé

          Ab                   Eb
No, not because I'm crazy—I perform this way!

              Eb                      Db
I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat

                Ab                       Eb
I'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this way!
[Bridge] N.C Don't be offended when you see N.C My latest pop monstrosity N.C I'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre N.C I'm Frankenstein! I'm Avatar!
          Eb
There's nothing too embarrassing

       Eb
I'll honestly do anything

     Eb
But wear white after Labor Day
N.C 'Cause baby, I perform this way! [Chorus]
               Eb                        Db
Hope you won't think it's cliché if I go nude today

               Ab                  Eb
Don't call the cops now, baby—I perform this way

          Eb                        Db
No reason I should regret all the attention I get

            Ab                Eb
I'm not completely crazy—I perform this way, yeah
[Outro]
     Eb                      Db
I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey

           Ab                 Eb
I'm always deviating from the norm this way-hey

     Eb                      Db
I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey

           Ab                   Eb
I'm really not insane—I just perform this way-hey
