[Verse 1]
GAnother summer wasted in the BAmadd9attlefords
On a Cmaj7banana seat bike
With a Ghockey card in the spokes
GA friend of ours who's dad stopped his car by to say that Amadd9"he better get home"
He said "you're gonna get a Cmaj7beating,
You're gonna get the Gbeating of your life"
[Pre-chorus]
DWhoo-oo-ah Em Nutrasweet and D/F#Fresca and Pop Cmaj7Shoppe
Cmaj7And all the best of what a baby sitter coAm7uld afford
With Emenough negotiation and freCmaj7ckled smile
[Verse 2]
GAnother summer wasted here in the Amadd9Battlefords
Our dust coated Cmaj7freezie stained lips
And lGawn darts in the yard
GAnd the richest guy in town drives his new Lincoln drunk on the old Amadd9dusty streets
Balancing a Cmaj7snifter of gin
On the Gedge of his knee
[Pre-chorus]
DWhoo-oo EmRocky road and D/F#tiger tail and bCmaj7ubble gum
Cmaj7And all the rest of them that a baby sitter coulAm7d afford
With the Emright negotiation and freckCmaj7led smile
[Chorus]
G They say that wealth is revealed in the Bmteeth
BmThat's why we're all wearing braceCs
And dirty Gfingernails ah-aaah
Amadd9 That a good akela Cmaj7wouldn't approve of
G Not another broken arm in this Bmheat
BmHe fell bringing pop and chips home one hanCded
We weren't Ginvincible ah-aa oh
Amadd9 And the sensei said he'll Cmaj7sit out the tournament
[Verse 3]
GAnother summer wasted here in the Amadd9Battlefords
Dad shakes his Cmaj7head at the car
That's been sGitting on blocks for years
GAnd the weird kid who smoked two cigarettes playing Bingo, then Amadd9his mom came to his rescue
She stood up and cCmaj7hided everyone with her finger outstretched
Saying G"you're not the boss of him"
[Pre-chorus]
DWhoo aw EmRing pops, D/F#banana runts, PopeyeCmaj7 cigarettes
Cmaj7And everything that's best that a babysitter could Am7afford
With the Emright negotiation and a freCmaj7ckled smile
[Chorus]
G They say that wealth is revealed in the Bmteeth
BmThat's why we're all wearing braceCs
And dirty Gfingernails ah-aaah
Amadd9 That a good akela Cmaj7wouldn't approve of
G Not another broken arm in this Bmheat
BmHe fell bringing pop and chips home one hanCded
We weren't Ginvincible ah-aa oh
Amadd9 And the sensei said he'll Cmaj7sit out the tournament
