Aadd9/C# Eddie Grace's Buick got four D6bullet holes in the side
Aadd9/C#and Charlie Delisle is sittin' at the top of an avBm7ocado trE7ee
Mrs. Aadd9/C#Storm will stab you with a steak knife if you D6step on her lawn
Aadd9/C# I got a half a pack of Lucky Strikes, man, so Bm7come along with E7me
Aadd9/C#Let's fill our pockets with D6macadamia nuts
And go Aadd9/C#over to Bobby Goodmanson's and Bm7jump off the E7roof
Well, Aadd9/C#Hilda plays strip poker when her D6mama's 'cross the street
Aadd9/C#Joey Navinski says she put her tonguBm7e in his moE7uth
Dicky Aadd9/C#Faulkner's got a switchblade and some D6gooseneck Db7risers
That Gbm7eucalyptus is a B9hunchback, there's a Bm7wind up from the E7south
So let me Aadd9/C#tie you up with kite string
and I'll D6show you the scabs on my knee
Aadd9/C#Watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on
Bm7 and come along with E7me
Let's follow that fire truck
I think your house is burnin' down
Then go down to the hobo jungle
and kill some rattlesnakes with a trowel
And we'll break all the windows
in the old Anderson place
And we'll steal a bunch of boysenberries
and I'll smear 'em on your face
I'll get a dollar from my mama's purse
and buy that scull and crossbones ring
And you can wear it 'round your neck
on an old piece of string
Then we'll spit on Ronnie Arnold
and flip him the bird
And slash the tires on the school bus
now don't say a word
I'll take a rusty nail
and scratch your initials in my arm
And I'll show you how to sneak up on the roof
of the drugstore
I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair
and a magpie's wings
And I'll tie 'em to your shoulders
and your feet
I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad
and cut the braces off your legs
And we'll bury them tonight
out in the cornfield
Just put a Aadd9/C#church key in your pocket
we'll hop that D6freight train in the hall
We'll Aadd9/C#slide all the way down the drain
Bm7 to New E7Orleans in the Aadd9/C#fall D6
