[Db] [Bb]
[N]
If they could see me now, that little gang of mine.
I'm eating fancy chow and drinking [Bm] fancy wine.
I'd like those stumble bumps to see for a fact.
[E] The kind of pop, draw, verse, [F] break, [Gm] germs I attract.
All I can say is, wow, he look [Fm]
where I am.
Tonight [Eb] I landed out [D] of jam and what [G] a set up.
Holy cow, [N] they'll never believe me if [Cm] my friends could see me [Bb] now.
[Gb] Oh, if they could [B] see me [Abm] now, my little [A] dusty [B] group.
[Abm] Traipsing round this million [Db] dollar chicken [Abm] coop.
I'd hear [Bb] those thrift shop cats [Eb] saying, brother get [Abm] him.
Drifts on [Db] a bed, slant made from [Gb] three kinds of skin.
All [Abm] I can say is, wow, wait till [Eb] the rippin' rabbit sees [Dbm] just exactly how.
She [Eb] signed her autograph, what [Ab] a build up.
[Db] Holy cow, they'll never believe [Gb] me if my friends could see me [B]
[G] now.
If they could [Am] see me now, alone with Mrs.
[Bb] B.
[F] Who's waiting [Dm] on me like she was a [C] make-a [F]-be.
I [D] hear my body saying, [Ab]
[D] what gives?
Tonight he's living just like [G] the other half lives.
Who thinks the [C] hype is proud?
All I can say is, gee, couldn't [Dm] go no getting proud.
Which [E] there's no doubt is me.
Gonna [Db] stand up, [A] wow, holy [D] cow, they'll never believe me [G] if my friends could see me.
If my [Gb] friends could [G] see [C] me [D] now.
[C] Make a look at me [Gb] now, make a look at [C] me [Dm] now.
[Eb] [A] [Ab] [Gb] [C]
