[D] [G]
Well now things are strange at my old alma [C] mater
They're changing things that they might not [G] order and you can call me an old [D] fuddy-duddy I guess
[G] But throughout teaching the [C] ABCs added CRT and new biology [D] and you can't deny what they call [G] amazing progress
Especially since Bubba changed his name to Charlene
Went out and joined the girls [D] swimming team
Well [G] now we've won every race [C] broke every record in the state [D] and that beats anything
I've [G] ever seen
And since Bubba changed his name to Charlene
We're seeing things not meant [D] to be seen
[G] Yeah, no matter how you slice it
[C] It's hard to keep his business private [D] now that Bubba's changed his name to Charlene
And went out going girls [G] swimming team
Now if we continue in this pursuit, [C] we'll need to rethink those bathing [G] suits
They've been getting skimpier and [D] skimpier and that's got to stop
[G] No more swimming suits by Christian [C] Dior.
That's just not gonna work anymore
[D] We need a lot more fabric at the [G] bottom than on the top
Since Bubba changed his name to Charlene
Went out and joined the girls [D] swimming team
[G] Well, we've won every race broke [C] every record in the state
[D] And now we're making him [G] homecoming queen
[C] The whole senior class is [G] predominantly Caucasian
[D] But this year they've decided to [G] identify as Asian
[C] It's not that they don't want their [G] white privilege [E] anymore
[A] They just all thought it might [D] help their SAT scores
And [G] since Bubba changed his name to Charlene
Went out and joined the girls swimming [D] team
Yes, [G] we've won every race broke [C] every record in the state
[D] And now we're making him homecoming queen
Since Bubba changed his name to [G] Charlene
But you know, this is working out pretty good, I mean my wife now identifies as my husband
So I bought her a new bass boat for her birthday
Yeah, and she bought me a big diamond necklace for my birthday.
Oh
It's a win-win situation Yes
Well now things are strange at my old alma [C] mater
They're changing things that they might not [G] order and you can call me an old [D] fuddy-duddy I guess
