play as bar chords..

G

I got money to blow

C

And there''s this girl that I know

G

She''s got whisky in her pants

D

She''s a real good dancer

G

I''ve got a pocket full of change

C

That I''d love to rearrange

G

I''ve got money to blow

D

And there''s this girl I know

G

She''s good at danger

I''ve got a mouth full of sass

I''ve got a paper full of grass

I''ve got a sock full of sand

Don''t it feel just grand

I got a sack full of seed

And you know what I need

I need a girl who''s willing to go out

And make a killing

On some shinny shinny beads

I got a big motor car

In back there''s a bar

And the show it shows the most

It shows Space Ghost

It''s a funky red jalopy

Bright red like a poppy

We play Merle Haggard tunes

On the dashboard with spoons

Mister do you have a copy

chorus: C G C D C G

I, I think of you when I wake up

I, I wanna pour you in a cup

And drink you down

And drink you down

And drink you down

And drink you down

I wander round during the day

Ain''t got nothing much to say

Look up at the clouds sometimes

Jangle pennies, nickels, dimes

Sometimes I think I''m Van Gogh

Sometimes I''m Pinocchio

I got a long long nose

And I lie through my teeth

And I figure that it shows

I, I''m a monkey in a cage

I would love for you to turn my page

And then again

And then again

And then again

And then again

Come on up and see my room

You can fly in on your broom

You can have some chocolate cake

Talk like Veronica Lake

I got my money then I should

You can have some if your good

And if you''re really really nice

I''ll chew your chewing gum twice

I''ll do the same for Robin Hood

I, I got the holy medallion

Ah, you can ride it like a stallion

Been eating chicken all alone

Baby show you the bone

Let me tell you the reason

For keeping flowers out of season

Let me tell you the truth

About John Wilkes Booth

He was really really good

Except for one misunderstood

Night he went a little crazy
