Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy award-winning folk/pop/comedy duo comprised of Bret McKenzie formerly of The Black Seeds, Video Kid, and The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra fame and Jemaine Clement formerly of The Humourbeasts, who met in 1998 while studying film and theatre in Wellington, New Zealand. Billing themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo", the group uses a combination of witty banter and acoustic guitars to work the audience.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The song has only 2 chord progressions really, oh and a key change. The chords work through the rap and breakdown sections, just listen to the rhythms as the Conchords do their signature genre rips. The recording is played easily with a Capo on the first fret and the following chords! Enjoy this neat tune!

Stop writing lyrics about yourself, Get your magic wallet up off the shelf, Oh no that wallet’s not there anymore, I know late night come knock at my door.
We sneak in the room, Where my parents snore, My dad leaves his jeans lying on the floor, In his back packet there’s a wallet we can score, Get about 50 dollars, Or maybe more.
Your dad catches you with wallet in hand, Say it’s for the kids, He’ll understand, Don’t need to worry, Don’t need to hide, A I just tell my dad to feel inside.
DA Feel inside, BmG And stuff like that, Open up the lids, Help help help the kids, Feel inside, And stuff like that, Open up the lids, Help help help the kids.
