Tuning: E A D G B E
This song is somewhat difficult due to the fast chord changes at the end of each verse and chorus.
The chords are from the man himself though the B7 sounds a little off to me during the verses.
You can experiment with different voicings to find what works for you.
The lyrics are from http://www.sycamoresmith.com/lyrics/censored.html so they're pretty official.
I tried to get the timing right but the song is pretty fast-paced.
Also: This song is not exactly what I'd call child friendly. You have been warned.
Without further ado:

B7I caught a spot of rabies last Fall
While I was Eroaming through the South—
It was B7raining cats & dogs and every cat and dog
was foaEming at the mouB7th...
I met aE wild-eyedB7 spinster on the back of a bus
She asked if there was anyE part of her I'd like to touch
When I told her "YerB7 nuts!" she got mad at me
And lectured on female anatomyE..E7. C B7
He used to slick his hair back every day

So I told him "You'll be Eshowered with candy and treats
If you can knock a pB7iñata off the branch of a tree"
But what I showed him waEs not a pinata, no,
'Twas a bB7eehive, actually.E.. E7 C B7
A7Thus he was B7chased by the bees,E
They folA7lowed him down to thB7e creek E
He jA7umped in the B7water—
The uEpshot's he got his
First A7bath in B7fifty-two weeEksE7 C B7

If yer a wB7ealthy old codger then y'better not lodge here
At the AmpEutated Arms Hotel, pop—
The mB7an behind the counter, though a brute & a bounder
Is a mEilk-sop nextB7 to the bell-hoEp
Who'd rather turn you B7inside oot & backwards
Than pamper you, you highfalutin Ebastard—
Ask him for a B7hand with your bag
And you areE gonna catch a boB7ot in yer sack, Esir! E7 C B7
