G#
Wait,
C  A#    C#
It isn't so great
          D#         C#   G#                   C
Since you learned karate chop chop chop chop chop
        A#      C#
You're walking machs
              D#      C#      G#
And I'm just swimming in the slop
               C
slop slop slop slop
     A#        C#
You wave your wand at me
    D#       C#         G#               C
And make me dance flip-flop flip-flop flip
  A#       C#
I want to sing for you
     D#        C#      G#
And make your head go pop pop pop pop pop

Chorus:
A#  F# E
The Inuit man
    A#     F#     E
Had not so much a Caesar
A#     F#  E
He had provision

Say, you're sprayin' in the windy
And I'm just pissin' off-off-off-off-off
I'm literally deaf down here from
Your canned philosoph-soph-soph-soph

Softly, can you hear me?
Through the suckin' of your
quaff-quaff-quaff-quaff quaff
I'm thalassocracy and you're just Romanov-ov-ov-ov

Chorus
