[Verse 1]
B
Charles Nelson Reilly was a mighty man, the kind of man you'd never disrespect

         B
He stood 8 foot tall, wore glasses, and he had a third nipple on the back of his neck

B              D                      A
He ate his own weight in coal, and excreted diamonds every day

B                          D                         A                      B
He could throw you down a flight of stairs, but you still would love him anyway

          E                    D    B    B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
Yeah, you know you'd love him anyway....
[Verse 2]
B
Charles Nelson Reilly won the Tour de France with two flat tires and a missin' chain

B
He trained a rattlesnake to do his laundry, I'm tellin' you the man was insane

B                     D                         A
He could rip out your beatin' heart and show it to you right before you died

B                       D                  A                     B
Every day he'd make the host of Match Game give him a piggyback ride,

        E         D        B                   B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
Yeah! a two-hour piggyback ride, Giddyup Gene!....

A Ninja Warrior Master Of Disguise, he could melt your brain with his laser beam eyes, Oh yeah, Oh yeah

           E                                 D                                      F# E C# B A# G# F# E
He had his very own line at the DMV, he made sweet, sweet love to a manatee, Oh yeah
Oh yeah, that was somethin' to see, I tell ya... [Verse 3]
B
Charles Nelson Reilly sold his toenail clippings as a potent aphrodisiac

B
He ran a four minute mile blindfolded with an engine block strapped to his back

B                  D                  A
He could eat more frozen waffles than any other man I know

B                     D                        A                      B
Once he fell off the Chrysler building and he barely even stubbed his toe

      E             D            B                        B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
Had a tiny little scratch on his toe, didn't even hurt!....
[Verse 4]
B
Charles Nelson Reilly figured out cold fusion, but he never ever told a soul

B
I've seen the man unhinge his jaw and swallow a Volkswagen whole

B                      D                     A
He'd bash your face in with a shovel if you didn't treat him like a star

              B                          D                    A
Cause you can spit in the wind or tug on Superman's cape, but lord knows you just don't mess around with CNR!

B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
                                   No No No!

B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
                                   Talkin' 'bout CNR!

B B B B A A A  D  D D D  A A A B B B
                                   Ohhhh!
