         G                C
You ago tired 'fe see me face
G                       Am
Can't get me out of the race
     G                         C
Oh, man you said I'm in your place
G                      Am
And then you draw bad card
G                   C
I make ya draw bad card
G                   Am
I make ya draw bad card
      G                       C
Propoganda spreading over my name
                G                    Am
Say you wanna bring another life to shame
   G                         C
Oh man you just a-playing a game
G                      Am
And then you draw bad card

I make you draw bad card
G                    Am
I make you draw bad card

Chorus:
F            C
I want to disturb my neighbor
F                  C
Cause I'm feeling so right
F              C
I want to turn up my disco
F             G            C
Blow them to full watts tonight - hey!
G                C
In a rub-a-dub style
G                Am
In a rub-a-dub style
G               C
In a rub-a-dub style
G                Am
In a rub-a-dub style

             F            Em     Dm
Cause we're guarding the palace so majestic,
G F           Em     Dm
Guarding the palace so realistic

Them a-go tired to see we face (oh yeah!)
Me say them can't get we out of the race
Oh, man, it's just a big disgrace
The way you draw bad card (draw bad card)
The way you make wrong moves (make wrong moves)
The way you draw bad card (draw bad card)
A-make you draw bad card (draw bad card)
A-make you draw bad card
In a rub-a-dub style, rub-a-dub style
In a rub-a-dub style
