[F] [E] [C] [Dm]
[G] [E]
[F] [Em] [D] [Am] Now the king's all a boogie [Em] man You [Gm] have to let that rocket [Dm] throw
If [Am]
you don't want to [Em] desecrate [G] it Have to shake it to the [D] top
[Am] The shaking's all this kind of [Em] lack If you [G] ain't cruising down the [Dm] hill
The [Am]

[Em] [Dm]
Shawty don't like it [G] [Em]
[F] [C] [Dm]
Shawty don't like [Am] [G] it
[Em]
[F] Bum and bum [E] [Am] Bum and bum
By order of the prophet [E] [G] And that boogie [F] star
[Am] He generated the faithful [Em] With [Gm] that crazy cat bus
[Dm] [Am] The metal they brought [Em] outside to camp [G] The local top-picking [Dm] stars came top-picking for [Am] her
Soon as the sherry [C] hit the [F] square They began to wave

Shawty don't like [Am] it [G] Rock [Em]
[F] you, catastrophe
[Em] [C] Rock you, [A] catastrophe
Now over at the temple The moon had really won't go [Am] in
The clouds had [Bm] [Am] schooled The fish are all hanging [Ab] in
[F] But the wavy direction And the ripple banter's fine
[G] [Am] The crowd got a will [A] And that crazy cat bus
[Dm]

[Em] [C] [Dm]
don't like [Am] [G] it [Em] [F] Rock you, [Em] catastrophe
[C] Rock you, [Am] catastrophe
The king told off his jet fighters He [G] said, you better run your [Dm] faith
Drop your [Am] bombs, you mean the litterates [Em] Now [G] the cat's gone [Am] away
Soon as the sherry pushed [Em] her foot on the [G] air The jet pilot tuned [Dm] to the cup and radioed her
[Am] Soon as the sherry [E] was out of air [F] The jet pilot's waved
[Dm] Shawty don't [Am] like [G] it [F] Rock you, catastrophe
[Em] [C] Rock you, catastrophe
[Dm] Shawty don't like [Am] it [G] Rock [Em] [F] you, catastrophe
