He's the man without a plan
To shake it up and set you down again
A Bo Diddely walk no more messing round the block
17 watts is all of what he's got

CHORUS

Take me [G]out and mess me '[E]round
Don't want [G]style without a [E]sound.
It ain't [D]clean but dig the [G]scene
And [B]I heard the message now the [A]message is mine.

VERSE

I heard the man he brought the news
He came in loud and out of tune
Now asleep like a bus conductor dribble like a dog.
Double timing scratch to the sound I'm thinking of

CHORUS
Take me [G]out and mess me '[E]round
Don't want [G]style without a [E]sound.
It ain't [D]clean but dig the [G]scene
And [B]I heard the message now the [A]message is mine.
[B]I heard the message,[A] come on Timmy!
