They Might Be Giants We Want a Rock Lyrics

I included the bass line with the chords here. But it is of course possible
to just leave out all the slah notes and to play only the regular chords.
CHORDS
D/F# 2-x-0-2-3-2
G/F# 2-x-0-0-3-3
B/F# 2-x-4-4-4-2
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was making
I said if I was smart that I would save up for a piece of string
And a rock to wind the string around
Everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Throw the crib door wi-ide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this to-own
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
Throw the crib door wi-ide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this to-own
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
If I were a carpenter, I'd hammer on my piglet, I'd
Collect the seven dollars and I'd buy a big prosthetic forehead
And wear it on my real head
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Throw the crib door wi-ide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this to-own
Is trying to burn their playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
But everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Throw the crib door wi-ide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this to-own
Is trying to burn their foreheads down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock to
Wind a piece of string around
