Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes
               Bb                   Am
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
         Gm                  F
play the song with the funky break"
    Bb                 Am
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart
   Gm                     F
to see if it was safe outside
    Bb                       Gm

     Bb                 Am
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone
Gm                F
preacher from the east
       Bb                       Am
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
Gm                           F
that's where they expect it least"
         Bb                     Am
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
Gm                       F
watching the young girls dance
         Bb                       Am
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,
  Gm               F
reminding him of romance!

Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot
    Gm                      F
and throws his lover in the sand
         Bb                           Am

save the buckshot, turn up the band
