A              F#m
Fortune has me well in hand,
D                 E
armies 'wait at my command
   Bm              E          D               A
My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath
      D  A D E
the sand

The angels guide my every tread
My enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories
I've led, haven't brought you to my bed

Chorus:
         A          F#m
You see, everybody loves me, baby,
D                       E
what's the matter with you
          B                  E
Wont you tell me what did I do
      A        D A D E
to offend you?

Now the purest race I've bred for thee,
to live in my democracy
And the highest human pedigree awaits
the first-born boy baby
And my face on every coin engraved
The anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever waved by grateful people
I have saved

Chorus:
You see, everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

Now no land is beyond my claim when
the land is seized in the people's name
By evil men who rob and maim
If war is hell, I'm not to blame!
Why, you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child
I'm the second son of Mary mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde
But he didn't mind, why, he just smiled

Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through and
the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
I'm held in very great value by everyone
I meet but you
'Cause I've used my talents as I could
I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought
I would, so, c'mon, and treat me like you should!

Chorus:
Because everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Won’tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

Everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Won’tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?
Woo! Yeah!

Everybody loves me, baby,
what's the matter with you?
Tell me what did I do to offend you!
