The whole ^Gkit'in caboodle is in disrepair ^CThere's nowhere to go that's not here All the ^Dcaptains and cuckoos from here to Timbuktu ^GAre counting ^Ctheir dough in the ^Dmirror ^DAre counting their dough in the ^Gmirror

^GSinging rooty toot toot for the moon It’s the ^Cbiggest star I've ever seen It's a ^Dpearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese And it's ^GBurning just ^Clike Kerosen^De, and it's burning just like Kero^Gsene

He was ^Gjust a young white kid trying to sing black and tough ^Cwith gravel and spit on his voice He ^Dlaughed at the songs we sang, the radio laughed too ^GAnd we lift up our ^Carms and ^Drejoiced ^DAnd we lift up our arms and ^Grejoiced

^GSinging rooty toot toot for the moon It’s the ^Cbiggest star I've ever seen It's a ^Dpearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese And it's ^GBurning just ^Clike Kerosen^De, and it's burning just like Kero^Gsene

So God ^Gbless motorcycles and all those far out trifles ^CYou know you can't memorize Zen ^DHang your hat on your nose don't hide in your clothes Smile at ^Gsomeone, ^Cbegin to ^Dbegin ^DSmile at someone, begin to ^Gbegin
