E
I was sitting around
Doing nothing, like a hound
A7
And then I realized there's nothing I have not already found
On the ground
E
I know I wanna jump into the second round
B7 A7
Because I'm bound to make a sound that goes around a certain crowd
E
But hand me up
B7
The clown is loud
E
I gave up on the potato
A little down I drove my car
And then I realized
I was in front of a bar
A7
I squealed the tire, I lit the fire
E
I left the car behind
B7
I crossed the street! Oh chit!
A7
Now I'm a myth! Way to go!
E B7
The fish followed the flow
E
I have nowhere to go
I take a plane, mah bro
I wanna rock'n'roll
A7
And you don't know what I'm talking about
E
I am providing the 999
Where the magic goes around me
B7 A7 E B7
Oh! Nine is the only number showing on my clocks from now on
E
And I got a really great idea
I'm outta here, bye bye, I see yah
Maple neck
Yum, so delicious
I wanna play
E
Yo, I broke my guitar
To build a plane, mah lucky star
To get the hell out of here
A7
But my idea didn't work
So I called the nurse
E
'Cause the needle takes away my fear
B7
It brings me down
Out of town
A7
Tho I lie
E B7
To be a brand new guy
E
Yeah, I bump into a seagull
I rub a navel, I hit an ego
Meet some people, have a giggle
Now I'm free to go
E
I get very angry
When I'm away
From the evil of my ego
Can I recreate an era?
A7
I play the beagle, is that illegal
To go back to the medieval
E
For a meatball?

Na, na, na na, na, na na, na, na na, na, na na now
E
Just for a meatball

Na na now
Na na now
Na na noooooom
