[Spoken]
Hello there Paul
I had a take and I was ready to send it and I thought
You know, it can be done better
So here it is then
Now I'm wearing my boots which always guarantees a good showing
 
[Intro]
D6 D Em Em7 G A7 D (x2)
 
[Verse]
D                       Em7
you must try to lead a good life
          G      A7
you must do unto others
    D
as you would have them do
 
so that when you die
             Em7
you'll find golden boy peanuts
G       A7                      D
waiting in the afterlife for you
 
[Chorus]
there are no pan-Asian supermarkets
Em7
down in hell
        G       A7            D
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
 
there are no pan-Asian supermarkets
Em7
down in hell
        G       A7            D
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
 
[Interlude]
D6 D Em Em7 G A7 D
 
[Verse]
D                Em7
if thine enemy oppresseth you
        G    A7                  D
you must let him oppress you some more
                                Em7
so that when you go shopping in paradise
            G     A7                        D
you'll find those magnificent peanuts from Singapore
           G
with the drawing of the
               D
young Chinese farmer
Em7
eastern sun behind him
           D
smiling at you from the shelves
                                 Em7
if we want to spend eternity in happiness
     G                   A7             D
we are going to have to watch ourselves
                      Em7
you must give to the March of Dimes
G                           A7
you must be on guard against wickedness
  D
at all times and you will find that your efforts
      Em7
have brought you great joy when your
  G        A7                D
spirit is munching on that golden boy
 
[Chorus]
                                    Em7
there are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
       G      A7             D
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts there
                              Em7
but the streets of heaven are lined with shelves
            G                A7          D
and there's billboards of the golden boy everywhere
                                    Em7
there are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
       G         A7         D
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
                                    Em7
there are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
       G         A7         D
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts... GO!
