Gm
Oh, good God in Heaven Almighty,
Heavens to Murgatroyd
We've got a cataclysmic situation developing
Someone get down here now

Gm
Come on, come on, baby let me show you what I'm talking about
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
You try to be a lady but you're walking like a sauerkraut
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
Looka looka like-a like-a like you wanna get some
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
If you never tell a lie then you never have to play dumb
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)

Gm
Dirty baby, time, you're gonna take some
Pretty baby, love, you're gonna make some
Little lady, hearts, you're gonna break some
Kinda shady, tears, you're gonna fake some
Dirty baby, gotta situation
Pretty baby, open invitation
Little lady, what a reputation
Kinda shady, how you gonna make again

Chorus:
C   A#            F         Gm
I know you can straddle the atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup, girl
I know you can battle the masses dear
C        A#           D
A tiny storm in your teacup, girl

Oh no, oh no, it's getting worse,
worse by the minute
We're down here in division of mystery
Someone send for back up

Every other day you say your gonna have to bury 'em
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
Famous last words from the fuckin' Laysarium
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
Descendents had a record sayin' somethin' bout Milo
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
You can take the A train but your gonna have to lie low
(Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)

Chorus

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Dirty baby, time, you're gonna take some
Pretty baby, love, you're gonna make some
Little lady, hearts, you're gonna break some
Kinda shady, tears, you're gonna fake some
Dirty baby, gotta situation
Pretty baby, open invitation
Little lady, what a reputation
Kinda shady, how you gonna make again

Chorus
