[D] [A]
[Dm] [A] Look at those guitar drums.
Chop, chop, chop.
People, places, parties.
[D] [A] People, places, parties.
[D] [A] You don't want to get me started.
People, places, parties.
Come on.
[D] [A] I used to go over to Mickey's [D] house [A] and wash the dishes for a spoon full of cocaine.
And I would take that cocaine and get to the bathroom and sit out [D] on the [A] stool
overthrown by the medicinal [D] odors.
[A] And I'd mix it up with a little water and shoot it into my arm
until I went cross-eyed.
Whoa!
[D] I [A] felt good!
[D] But my [A] arm got bigger and bigger.
And pretty soon, everybody got busted.
But I survived!
[D] [A] People, places, parties.
[D] [A] People, places, parties.
You don't want to get me started.
People, places, parties.
[D] [A]
[D] So later [A] on, I was a homeless cat living with prostitutes in Hollywood.
And one of them was named Janet [D] Planet, [A] and she had a bad case of [D] scabies.
[A] So I would walk around the streets of Hollywood with my little Planet Perry fan guy
scratching my [D] scabies and [A] waiting for my break in the rock [D] and roll [A] industry.
And somehow, I survived!
People, places, parties.
[D] [A] People, places, [D] parties.
[A] You don't want to get me started.
People, places, parties.
[D] [A]
Pretty soon, [D] [A] it was the 80s, and I was getting a little older.
And I was staying in one of those cheap hotels [D] where [A] legionnaires go to have conventions.
[D] And I was laying [A] on top of a girl named Stella.
She had a Harvard PhD, but she only really wanted to be [D] Barbie.
And [A] get loved by a rock star.
[D] And I [A] was the closest thing she could find.
So I was drilling her and drilling her.
But pretty [D] soon, I [A] got bored.
And I told her [D] she had to [A] leave.
And as I closed the door, it slammed on her finger.
And the finger was laying [D] there on the [A] floor.
And I didn't know what to [D] do.
[A] Because she was on LSD, and I might be liable.
So I called the bass [D] player and [A] said,
Clean this up.
[D] [A] People, places, parties.
People, places, parties.
You don't want to get me started.
[D] [A]
Listen, [D] parties.
[A] So boys and girls, don't do them, my dear.
Stay in school and do [D] everything [A] your mom tells you to do.
[D] And [A] remember, don't go to those people, places, parties.
People, places, [D] parties.
[A] You don't want to get me [D] started.
[A] People, places, parties.
All right, let me sit.
