David Allan Coe
Song For The Year 2000
'I was ah readin' an article in a magazine
about David Allan Coe as a songwriter and ah.
They were sayin' how ah my song, Jack Daniel's,
If You Please, that I wrote in 1956, ah really changed
country music back in the 60's and then in the 70's
you know and Divers Do It Deeper and Take This Job and
Shove It and different songs that I wrote. This guy
was sayin' that, he was wonderin what David Allan Coe
would be writtin' by the year 2000 that would be
so different and unusual then whatever everyone
else was doin'. So I call this a Song For The Year
2000.'
[F]Jimmy's in the closet,[Bb] he thinks no one knows
[C]He likes to wear makeup, and put on woman's [F]clothes
[F]When he tries to be a man his fe[Bb]minine side shows
[C]Jimmy's in the closet, he thinks no one [F]knows
Chorus:
But it ta[F]kes all kinds of people, to make the world [Bb]go round
I [C]bent the whole world over, and that's one thing tha[F]t I found
[F]Color does not matter, black, white, or red, [Bb]or brown
It [C]takes all kinds of people, to make the world [F]go round
The world go [Bb]round, the world go[F] round
It [C]takes all kinds of people, to make the world [F]go round
[F]Michael's taking hormon[Bb]e, treatments once again
[C]Michael's black, Michael hates the color o[F]f his skin
[F]Michael's getting whiter, then he's[Bb] ever been
[C]Michael's taking hormone, treatments on[F]ce again
Chorus:
[F]Stella was flat chested, she always stayed[Bb] at home
[C]Stella saved her money up, and bought so[F]me silicon
[F]Now the boys all stare at Stella's chest and they won't l[Bb]eave her alone
[C]Stella saved her money up just to buy s[F]ome silicone
Chorus:
