Yes! I'll tell you everything you need to be the next big thing; let's

Em (sim.) Am F#dim
start in with a test of your intelligence and

[B7]zest for the counter-productive;

[Em]up and down and [Am]roundabout and [F#dim]out the back and [B7]keep your mouth shut tight!

[Em]The lights are [Am]staying out but [F#dim]no sweat, I've got[B7] aim like a Mack truck.

[Em]Guess how many [Am]fingers? Okay! [F#dim]Guess how many [B7]more I can stick there?

[Em]Guess right gets the to[Am]aster but you [F#dim]know, miss, guessing [B7]gets you nowhere.

V. My work is guaranteed to last the length of your recovery.

Em (sim.) Am F#dim B7
Put away those pliers, honey, trust me cause I know the options:

[Em]How about a [Am]nine-month long va[F#dim]cation and a [B7]two-foot coffin?

Bridge:

[G]hey! I'm gett[A]ing into it.

[D]bridge when I get to it.
