Tuning: G C E A
[Verse 1]
GForty-five minutes, fifty-five cents
SiCxty-five agents sitting on a fence
Saying, hGey little brother lDook what we got for yGou
We're gonna rope off an area and put on a show
From the CCanadian border down to Mexico
It might Gbe the most potentially gross
DThing that we could possibly Gdo
DYeah, little buddy gonna get your chance
Make thGem pubescents all wet their pants
We'll reAcord it live and that's no jive
DHold it, stop it, no, no, no, no
[Chorus 1]
GBang went the pistol, crash went the window
COuch went the son of a gun
GOnomatopoeia, I Ddon't wanna see ya
CSpeaking in a Dforeign Gtongue
[Instrumental]

GKnock, knock, hello, can I come in?
CGee, it was a wonderful show
COh, you haven't gone on yet?
Well, hDow was I supposed to kGnow?
Hey we got a great date, it's really downtown
We're gonna gCet the grand canyon to do the sound
It's a bGoxing ring, but it might be the thing
