Capo: 2
A really funny spoof of the Barenaked Ladies song "One Week" from their album
"Stunt". This song is from Weird Al's 1999 album, "Running With Scissors". Very
easy song to play, and a lot of fun at that. Not as easy to sing, though!

[Chorus]
It's been Gone week since we Cadd9got to see
Cheatin' lGovers and cCadd9ousins that marry
G Five days since they Cadd9had the show
With the hGermaphrodite, the Cadd9slut, and the crack ho
G Three days since we Cadd9heard the tale
AbGout the guy who learned his Cadd9woman was a she-male
GYesterday it occCadd9urred to me
That I've been wGatchin' a bit too Cadd9much Jerry Springer
[Verse 1]
GHoly cow, d'you see it Cadd9last week?
Well, they had this oGne freak
Who sucker-Cadd9punched his whole family
G Do you recall when the brCadd9awl
Became a total free-forG-all
And Jerry's in the middle Cadd9tryin' to be the referee
GHey, see the stripper with the Cadd9implants
She likes to Glap dance
And date the Cadd9boyfriend of her mother
G Now here come's Jerry's Cadd9next guest
And it's a slGugfest
'Cause it's her trCadd9ailer trash brother
G Nymphomaniac is back on Cadd9crack
It's like "When AnimaGls Attack"
They all exhibit reprehCadd9ensible behavior
G Hit 'em in the nose, tear off their clCadd9othes
Step on their toes, that's how it Ggoes
They get so violent they hCadd9ave to sign a waiver
[Bridge 1]
Em7They're always swearin', cursin', kDadd9ickin' butt, and pointin' blame
Bm4On the air? They don't Cadd9care, they've got no shame
Em7There was one guy who I'm sDadd9ure felt a little strange
Bm4When he found out that his Cadd9wife had a sex change
Em7They have a tendency to sDadd9cream and yell constantly
Bm4They have a history of rCadd9ipping off their shirts
[Chorus]
It's been one week since they had the fight
With the Siamese twins and the transvestite
Five days since that awful brawl
They still haven't got the blood off the wall
It's been three days since the bitter fued
Between the KKK and that gay Jewish black dude
Yesterday, finally dawned on me
I'm spendin' way too much time on that Jerry Springer
[Interlude]
G, Cadd9 (x7)
[Guy] Baby, I've been sleepin' with your sister
[Gal] Oh? Well, which one?
[Guy] All of them
[Gal Oh! Well, I've been sleepin' with your best friend Jake!
[Guy] Yah? Well, well me too!
[Gal] Oh!
[Guy] And I've sleepin' with your dog Woofie!
(barking)
[Gal] Woofie, you b-tch!
[Gal] Well, I'm also sleepin' with your pet goat!
(baaahhing)
[Guy] That goat doesn't love to you!
[Verse 2]
Once you start watchin', there's just no stoppin'
Your brain shuts down, then your IQ's droppin'
Jerry's the king of confrontation
He's a sensation
He puts the 'sin' in syndication
It's totally worthless, like a bad check
It's like a train wreck
Don't wanna stare but you can't look away
Like Sally Jesse he does talk shows
But with more weirdos
The ratings jumpin' higher everyday
If you've seen the show, well then you know
It's just as low as you can go
The guests are tacky and they're lacking in their hygiene
And pretty soon some ugly goon
Comes in the room and then it's BOOM
In the face of some unsuspecting drag queen
[Bridge 2]
Well it's the kind of show where people scream obscenities
Yankin' hair, throwin' chairs at their hubbies
"Jerry! Jerry!" Now the crowd starts their favorite chant
Should I turn off my TV? I just can't
I have a tendency to watch it religiously
I have a history of taping each one
[Chorus]
It's been one week since the show about
Psycho killers with problems they should work out
Five days since the big surprise
When some loser's wife said she's shtill dating twenty guys
Three days wince he interviewed
A bunch of psychic porn star midgets who were all nude
Yesterday, it occurred to me
That I've been watchin' a bit too much Jerry Springer
Tired of wastin' my time on that Jerry Springer
I've got way too much class to watch Jerry Springer
Come over here and pull on my finger
[End on G]
