[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]She quit school
when she was [C]17
[G]Senator on TV calls her [D]Welfare Queen
[Em]Used to be daddy's [C]little girl
[G]Now she needs help in this
[D]mean old [C]world
[G]Buys cassette tapes in the [C]bargain bin,
[G]Loves Carleen Carter and Lor[D]etta Lynn,
Tries [Em]to have fun on a S[C]aturday ni[G]ght,
And Sunday morning don't
[D]shine too [C]bright.
[G]It's that welfare mu[C]sic,[G]
Watch the baby [D]dance,
To the [Em]welfare mu[C]sic,
[G]Will she ever sta[D]nd a c[C]hance?
[G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D]
[G]Takes two to make three,
but [C]one ain't here
[G]Still chasin' women and [D]drinkin' beer
[Em]Says nobody under[C]stands how it [G]feels
But that don't pay them [D]monthly [C]bills
[G]Angry fat man on the [C]radio
[G]Wants to keep his taxes way [D]down low
[Em]Cicero to [C]be your [G]law,
angriest man you [D]ever [C]saw
[G]Welfare music[C],[G]
watch the baby dance
[D]To the wel[Em]fare music[C],
[G]will she ever sta[D]nd a c[C]hance?
[G][D][G][C]
[G][D]
[G]Baby dance circles on the floor,
round and round just like before
Baby fall down, [C]baby get [G]up,
baby needs a drink from a [D]lovin' [C]cup
And [G]it's welfare mu[C]sic,[G]
watch the baby [D]dance
To the [Em]welfare mu[C]sic,
[G]will she ever sta[D]nd a chance?
[C]Welfar[G]e music[C],
[G]watch the baby dance
[D]To the wel[Em]fare music[C],
[G]will she ever sta[D]nd a c[C]hance?
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[D][G]
