[Gm] And [Bb] if one day I should become a singer with a [G] Spanish bum who [Dm] sings for women of [Gm] great [Dm] virtue _
[Gm] I'd [Dm] sing to them with a [Gm] guitar I borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, [Dm] what you don't know [Gm] doesn't [D] hurt you
[G] My name would be Antonio and all [D] my bridges I [Em] would burn
And when I gave them [G] some they'd know I'd expect [C] something [Bm] in return
[Em] _ [D] _ _
[A] I'd [Am] have to get drunk [E] every night and talk about [Em] virility
With some old [D] grandmama who might be decked out like [B] a Christmas tree _ _ _ _
[Em] And [Bm] old pink elephants I'd see though I'd be drunk as [E] I could be
Still [Bm] I would sing my [Em] song to me about [Am] the time [G] they called me Shaggy
If I could be for [Em] only an hour
[G] If I could be for an hour [Am] every day
If [D] I could be [E] for just [C] one little [D] hour a cute cute in a stupid [Gm] ass [D] way
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _
And [Dm] if I joined the [Gm] social world [D] became procurer of young girls
Then I would have my [G] own [Dm] bordellos _
[Gm] My record would be number one and [Dm] I'd sell records by [Gm] the ton
All sung by many other [D] fellows _
[G] My name would then be [Bm] Hassan Jack and I'd sell boats of [Em] opium
Whiskey that came from [G] drinking on pop that equals [C] and [D] clowny [Em] virgins
_ [D] _ _
[Am] If I had fangs on [E] every finger, finger in every [C] country and all the countries ruled by [Bm] me
I'd still know where [B] I'd want to _ be _ _ _ _
[Em] Locked up inside my opium den surrounded [Bm] by some [Em] Chinamen
I'd sing [D] the song that I [Em] sang then about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be [Ab] for just [C] one little hour [D] a cute cute in a [G] stupid ass [Dm] way _ _ _ _
[Gm] Now tell [Dm] me wouldn't it be [Gm] nice that if [Dm] one day in [Gm] paradise I'd sing [Dm] for all the [Gm] ladies up [Dm] there _
[Gm] And they [Dm] would sing along with [Gm] me we'd be [Dm] so happy that'd be
Cause down below is [Gm] really [D] nowhere
[G] If my name were [Bm] Juniper then I would know [D] where I was [Em] going and then I would become all [G] knowing
My beard so [C] very long [Bm] and _ [Em] flowing
[D] _ _
[Am] If I became deaf, [E] dumb and blind because I pitied all [Am] mankind
And broke my heart to [Bm] make things right I'd know [B] that every single night _ _ _
[E] When my [Bm] angelic work [Em] was through the [D] angels and the devil [Em] too
Would sing [D] my childhood song [Em] to me about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be for [C] just one little hour [D] a cute cute in a stupid ass way
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
