[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D][Gm][D]
[Gm][D][Gm]
[D]i imagined nic[Gm]k

[Verse 1]
valensi wrapped his long, long arms around [D]me
and they went around [Gm]my body
almost seven times
he [D]said "baby i've been think[Gm]ing
and i think i will quit drinking
[D]and i think on my next birth
[Gm]day i'll turn thirty five
and [D]i will settle down with [Gm]you, we'll make
sweet love the whole night through
you'll [D]convert into a jew,
[Gm]sit shiva for your former life"
and i [D]said "nick although you're hand[Gm]some,
i'll hold out for isaac hanson,
an[D]d he'll get his braces back
[Gm]when i become his wife"
[D]me and hanson will go [Gm]dancing,
me and hanson true romance
[D]me and hanson take a chance,
[Gm]lock the door it's party time
[D]all our babies will be born [Gm]novem
ber seventeenth i'm sure
[D]and we'll get [Gm]a
cookiepuss from the local carvel store
[D]then our brothers will come over [Gm]for
a big game of red rover
[D]everybody holding hands, [Gm]break the chain,
[D]break [Gm]the chai[D]n

[Gm]what would i do when you've had a few?
oh would i stay or go [D]away?
[Gm]would you grieve [D]if i [Gm]chose to leave?
what would you say if i was in [D]pain?

[Verse 3]
last night sergio [Gm]valenti
customized some denim for me
[D]special for my special shape, they
[Gm]fit me perfectly
now i've [D]got this new ensemble,
[Gm]certain circles i'm a bombshell
[D]but a guardian anglo keeps
[Gm]saying "negro please"
[D]pay attention and you'll notice [Gm]one man's
chops is one man's [D]bloatus
one man's taint is one man's choad is
[Gm]one man's mr. clean
[D]and every scene i've ever s[Gm]een
becomes a tootsie roll to me
a little [D]tasteless waxy turd that
[Gm]gets stuck in my teeth
[D]and everywhere i try to go t[Gm]he cars
are moving much to slow
i said [D]"excuse me mr. john[Gm]son" he
said "call me beau"
[D]"i think this is my biggest [Gm]fear,
the road before me is unclear"
[D]he said "close your eyes my child
[Gm]and let the old man steer"
i [D]said "oh, thanks anyway,
[Gm]what would fenton lawless say?"
[D]five years in the saddle and i've got
[Gm]ta take the re[D]in s
