DG2A There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet G2AD No matter where you live DEm There'll always be a few things, maybe several things G2AD That you're gonna find really difficult to forgive

DG2A There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better G2AD You'll rise up free and easy on that day DEm And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air G2A2A Just when that day is coming, who can say, who can say DG2 Our mother has been absent DG2 Ever since we founded Rome DAD But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
DG2A We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves G2AD To tell the neighbors what's been going on DEm And they will shake their heads, and wag their bony fingers G2A2A In all the wrong directions and by daybreak we'll be gone
[Instrumental]

DG2A I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim G2AD Scope out every angle of unfair advantage DEm I'm gonna bribe the officials, I'm gonna kill all the judges G2A2A It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage DG2 Our mother has been absent DG2 Ever since we founded Rome DAD But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home G2ADG2ADG2 AD Oh
