Dm
Drag him out your window, dragging out the dead
                                                Gm
Singing I miss you, snakes and ladders flip the lid
Out pops the cracker,
smacks you in the head, knives you in the neck
                  A
Kicks you in the teeth steel

Get up get the gunge

Get the eggs get the flan in the face
The flan in the face, the flan in the face

Stepford wives, who are we to complain?
Investments and dealers, investments and dealers
Cold wives and mistresses
Cold wives and Sunday papers
City boys in first class

Born and raised for the job
Someone always does
Oh, I wish you'd get up
Get over, get up, get over, turn your tape off

Chorus:
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
