A#             F
Crossed the street
Dm       Cm
Naked at nig ht
A#   F       Dm
Bent over to show
         Cm
some moonlight
A#                F
Pulled out some beer
      Dm        Dm
and I gulped it down
A#         F
Nude in a gutter is
Dm        Cm
how I was found
A#           F
Thrown in a police car
        Dm    Cm
and the door slammed
A#             F
No noise just silence
       Dm
as I screamed my
Cm       A#
dick was jammed
         F        Dm
Now in prison for one
      Cm
month no one to
A#         F
see All I got is
        Dm   Cm
this guy Ben Dover

Chorus:
A#                          F
Don't like hesh don't like rap
Kicked ol' Sally cause she's
D#                    F
fat I'm a jerk I'm a punk
                       A#
Took a shower cause I stunk
                        F
Smoked a bong killed a cat
                        D#
Had my nuts attacked by rats
                        F
Dad got nude I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

Went to a farm to tip some cows
Forgot that I left my pants down
Bent over to pick them up
Felt a twelve gauge next to my hum-diddy-dum
The farmer took me to his house
Showed me the closet from the inside out
The police came, they took me away
Saw Ben Dover again and he's still gay

Chorus

Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs
