The Nips Are Getting Bigger Lyrics

THE NIPS ARE GETTING BIGGER - Mental As Anything
INTRO:
|This first bit is sort of like an 'intro to the intro' as can|
|be seen in the timing change. It is played only once, being |
|followed by the 'main guitar progression' straight away |
MAIN GUITAR PROGRESSION:
|Played three times - first time solo, second time with the |
|bass and third time with the drums. It then continues to be |
|played over each verse |
BASS:
Started out just drinking beer
I didn't know how or why or what I was doing there
Just a couple more made me feel a little better
Believe me when I tell you it was nothing to do with the letter
GUITAR BREAK:
Ran right out of beer, I took a look into the larder
No bones nothing I'd better go and get something harder
Back in a flash I started on a dash of Jamaica Rum
Me and Pat Malone, drinking on our own
CHORUS:
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
Oh yeah, the nips are getting bigger
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
Yeah, they're getting bigger
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
Sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals are doing to my brain
Doesn't worry me enough to stop me from doing it again
Wiping out brain cells by the million but I don't care
Doesn't worry me even though I ain't got a lot to spare
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
(End by repeating first three power chords from guitar break)
