Dear Abby:
N.C. B5
Got a problem...
[Verse 1]
B5
I'm a decent, underpaid
B5
Hardworking county coroner

It's important that my family eats meat
B5
At least three times a week
B5
But we just can't afford to
B5
With prices the way they are
B5
So, I bring home some choice cuts
B5
From my autopsy subjects
E5
Just mix in the Tuna Helper and ta-da!

Got a problem...

The whole family thinks
B5
My new meals are delicious
B5
They ask me, "What's your secret?"
B5
Abby, I think they're getting suspicious
E5
My smartass eight-year-old keeps asking
"Where's all the meat?
B5
The red dye #2 kind that's kept in the fridge"

If they find out the truth
B5
I don't think they'll understand

Just fine...
