[Intro]
C D E A
 
[Verse 1]
A
Say, do you remember that guy Larry next door
E
Well, he always was the neighborhood clown
A
Like the time he pulled my pants off
 
And he took those color pictures
E
And posted copies all over town
D A E A
Or the time that he dumped toxic waste on my lawn
D A E A
Or those wacky prank phone calls from midnight till dawn
D A E
What a crazy kid Larry was, always foolin' around
 
[Chorus]
A
Boy, what a joker
B
What a funny, funny guy
A E D A
I'll never forget about Larry
E D A
No matter how I try
 
[Verse 2]
A
Say, do you remember when I lost all my hair
E
'Cause Lar' gave me that Nair shampoo
A
And hey, how 'bout the day he put Ben Gay inside my jockstrap
E
And filled my toothpaste tube up with glue
D A
All those wedgies he gave
E A
All those shoestrings he tied
D A E A
All those brownies he made with the Ex-Lax inside
D A E
Oh, Lar', I swear, it was a laugh a minute with you
 
[Chorus]
A
Boy, what a joker
B
What a funny, funny guy
A E D A
I'll never forget about Larry
E D A
No matter how I try

A E D A
 
[Bridge]
G D
You know I couldn't help but laugh
A E
Even though he treated me like slime
G D
Remember when he cut my car in half?
E
Well, he really got me good that time
 
[Verse 3]
A
Say, do you remember when I broke in Larry's house
E
Late at night and tied his mouth with a rag
A
Then I dragged him by his ankles to the middle of the forest
E
And stuffed him in a big plastic bag
D A E A
If the cops ever find him, who knows what they'd say
D A E A
But I'm sure if ol' Lar' were still with us today
D A
He would have to agree with me
E
It was a pretty good gag
 
[Chorus]
A
Oh, boy, what a joker
B
What a funny, funny guy
A E D A
I'll never forget about Larry
E D A
No matter how I try, oh
 
A
Boy, what a joker
B
What a funny, funny guy
A E D A
I'll never forget about Larry
E D G
No matter how I try
A
No matter how I try
 
[Outtro]
A5
Oh, I remember Larry
A
Remember, remember, remember...
