Email: valrus@bluebottle.com
Divided into sections for your delectation, since this is about
six songs in one.
Most sections are verse-chorus-verse-chorus with identical chords
for the two V-C pars; this is indicated in the tab. I included
ALL the lyrics; email if you think I should remove the ones
that don't actually have chords above them. That said, here we go:
/*==================================|Chords|==================================*/
Later at lunch with the taco lettuce crunch crunch
She sets herself apart the bunch
How bad does she seem? She makes me wanna scream.
On the phone with the West Glen Ellen rest home
Talking up a tattle tome
How bad does she seem? She makes me wanna scream.
My mama's gonna babysit tonight, did you hear Melinda got into a fight
You whore you bitch she said well that serves her right
repeat above chords
Talking all mad, you know she really isn't being sad
Her baby daddy's name is Tad
How bad does she seem? She makes me wanna scream.
Well yesterday you know she didn't none of that to say
She queen bee turned and walked away.
How bad does she seem? She makes me wanna scream.
Her boyfriend calls her up on the other line
She tells him sweetie sweetie sweetie sweetie mine
He spaces out and thinks to himself all the time:
/*=====================================||=====================================*/
My baby's got a stick stuck out her beak!
My baby takes a drink out of the leak!
My baby's got a blue-green sweater
And a nest down by the creek.
Plume bloom bloom blaby bloom, cheep cheep beep bee bee beep!
repeat above chords
Where did you for lunchtime go?
Did Kevin and Jenny show?
Do you wanna go out tonight?
No.
Plume bloom bloom blaby bloom, cheep cheep beep bee bee beep!

Remember that girl down the end? She was my friend.
But just now she's angry, came up
And said you're so so stup, it's all disrup
You blah blah this this that, so now shup
You messed it up.
repeat above chords
Remember that girlfriend of Al's? Well we were pals.
Today she was angry, came up
And said you're so so stup, it's all disrup
You blah blah this this that, so now shup
You mess me up.

Then Tony, of the Franklin Park Hockey Club
Went to Gunzo's and bought a goalie glove
Jessica was supposed to meet him back of Mannheim
Kitchen back door by all the grease and grime.
Was a little bird at my back door, said your true love's let you down.
Was a little bird at my window, said that he's been runnin' round.
He's working up the courage so to leave you.
He's getting ready to say he don't love you.
repeat above chords
Well Tony took it all in stride
Said "don't be silly" but wondered who had spied
Jessica, driving down Wolf Road
Roll up the windows baby, talk in code.
I'm the little bird at your back door, said your true love's let you down.
I'm the little bird through your chimney, said that he's been runnin' round.
He's working up the courage so to leave you.
He's getting ready to say he don't love you.

Then she bumped into purses, stole a credit card
Writing Chris Michaels, no it wasn't hard
Number five terminal with the yogurt cup
Reading a young miss as she slurps it up
Nasty message when he don't pick up
repeat above chords
Layover Aden, watch the local news
Ninety-nine and humid, all the Red Sea blues
Landing in Delhi, take a third class train
Umbrella vendor in the autumn rain
Then the cops come by and ask your name
/*=====================================||=====================================*/
With his chillum and chillum chee
The cazee sentences me
So now go where you're supposed to be
And give up your Devi Desi
I's paraded on through the choke
When my leg irons broke
And my bicycle wheel spoke
The Bombay Army's no joke.
repeat above chords
On the top of a Naracan Dam
Started our picnic then Bam!
My Devi 'n me had to scram
Quick down to Madras a'lamb
Thought as a tindal that I could blend
As I got to pretend
From laziness, the gang defend
Pick up your pick axe and rend!
/*=====================================||=====================================*/
Fasten your seatbelt and take hold of my arm
That's what she said before set off my alarm
Baby gotta go, baby gotta go.
I know
She's gonna go
I know
She's gonna go
repeat above chords
Down in Columbo girl whatever you want
But then the surf and cobras, tigers all taunt
Baby gotta go, baby gotta go.
I know
She's gonna go
I know
She's gonna go
