[D] All across America a new day is [E] dawnin'
The shades of night are slippin' away
[Gm] People are wakin' up, stretchin' and [A] yawnin'
And this is what they [F#m] say
[D] Put the Oak Ridge boys in the slammer
[E] Throw away the key
[A] Give them all a nine-pound hammer
Just keep em'
[F#m] Keep em' away from [D] me
Put the Oak Ridge boys in the big house

Lock all the windows and gates
[A] Replace their musical stardom
With an Ig-no [D]-mini estate
Lunchtime in the USA
[E] Bologna and American cheese
[Gm]
Same 40 songs on the radio
[A] Call, call, call the music [D] police
Send the Oak Ridge boys up the river
[E] Stick em' where the sun don't show
[A]
Moor em' in the Monongahela
Or out in the [D] Ohio
Put the Oak Ridge boys in the pokey
[E] Silence them forevermore
[A] Chase em' down out of the Smokies
With brick, [F#m] bats and [D] two-by-fours

[A] Give them all a nine-pound hammer
