[A] [B] [D]
Two feet six, I'm [A] a [B] creepin'
[D] Like a black guy do
[E] [Bm] Two bodies [A] layin' naked
[D] A creeper think he got nothin' to [A] lose
[B] So he creeps into the house
And unlocks [Bm] the door
[A] [B] As a man's reachin' [G#] for his [A] trousers
[Bm] The shoe's full of [E] [E] 38 [B] holes
He missed the Saturday night special
Got a barrel [A] that's a two [E]-inch [B] hole
They ain't good for nothin'
[D] [B] But put a [E] man's two feet in a [F#] hole
[Bm]
[A] [Bm]
Big Jim's [A] been drinkin' whiskey
And [D]
playin' poker on a loose night
Pretty soon [A] all the campstars will thank him
[Bm] For somebody [A] that cheated and never [D] lied
[E] [B] [D] So Big Jim from the men's [A] division
[D] I wouldn't tell you no lie
[A] [D] Big Jim down the pool, [A] there's a pistol
[Bm] Shot a spinner [F#] right between [E] the [B] eyes
He missed the Saturday night special
Got a barrel [A] that's a two [E]-inch [B] hole
They ain't good for nothin'
[D] [B] But put a [E] man's two feet in a [Bm] hole
Oh, [A] I love [B] this nice dress

[Em] And [Bm] if you like to drink [F#] old whiskey
[Bm] You might even [D] shoot yourself
[E] [Bm] So why don't we jump [E] on deeper
[Bm] To the bottom of the sea
Before [B] some old fool come [Bm] around here
Wanna shoot either you or [E] me
[B] He missed the Saturday night special
Got a barrel [A] that's a two [E]-inch [B] hole
They ain't good for nothin'
[D] [B] But put a man's [E] two feet in a [Bm] hole
