   D
My bulldog is barking in the backyard
  G7                                  E
Enough to raise a dead man from his grave
       D                             B7
And I can't concentrate on what I'm doing
    E                            A  Asus4
Disturbance going to crucify my days

         D
And the days they get longer and longer
G7                                   E
And the nightime is a time of little use
       D                B7
For I just get ugly and older
        E                   A7        D
I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose

Chorus:
Bm                                     G7
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
       Bm                        G7
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
            D             A               G7
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
       D              A7               D  G D
I'm a genuine example, of a social disease

My landlady lives in a caravan
Well, that is when she isn't in my arms
And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness
But my liquor also helps to grease her palms

And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
And they're falling apart at the seams
Well, I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams

Chorus:
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
I'm a genuine example of a social disease

And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
And they're falling apart at the seams
Well, I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams

Chorus:
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and I have a heart of gold
I'm a genuine example of a social disease

I'm a genuine example of a social disease
