Em            C           Em           Am
Fatty had it made like a blade in the sun
        Em          C             Am
Like a push in the bush when you got none
Em         C      Em         Am
Ping pong bingo, fills a la Ringo
Em      C           Am
Analog bong but it ring wrong

Chorus:
Em             C# C
Make some room
What Goes boom

I'm a fatty in my caddy with my 'ponic blunt
Not a stunted runt looking natty
Cozy as a manger, Chet Baker in the changer
Subs for my dub, I really got you

Chorus

G
Grace
Em                    A
In her lace and her stocking
Cm            G
Carrying her bass
Em                       A
She really likes to get rocking
Cm            G
Oh, darling Grace,
A                    Cm
Are we going to get rocking?

I like that slinky little punky, little bit funky
Itty bitty chunky right there
Little bit lippy, a whipped cream hippie
Zip and unzippy and I want her

Chorus - x2

G
Grace,
A                    Cm
Are we going to get rocking?
Cm            G
Carrying her bass
Em                       A
She really likes to get rocking
Cm            G
Oh, darling Grace,
A                    Cm
Are we going to get rocking?

Chorus
