G Forty-five minutes Fifty-five cents C Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence G Singing, hey brother DG Look what we got for you
G We're gonna rope off an area And put on a show C From the Canadian border Down to Mexico G It might be the most Potentially gross DG Thing that we could possibly do
D Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance G Make them pubescents all wet their pants A We'll record it live And that's no jive. D Hold it! Stop it! No! No! No! No! G Bang! went the pistol. Crash! went the window. CGD Ouch! went the son of a gun. Onomatopoeia I don't wanna see ya G Speaking in a foreign tongue.
G Knock! Knock! Hello! Can I come in? C Gee, that was a wonderful show! G Oh, you haven't gone on yet? DG Well, how was I supposed to know?
