Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
I know why I like you,
It's cause of your clothing
And your haircut
And 'cause you're racist
I have a match, your face
My asking you questions
You can't answer
You wanna box me?
Our world works in mysterious ways
They say a man with a beard may frighten
Children or dogs, but a mustache scares me more
I know why you bite me
It's cause of your instincts
And your canines
And 'cause I kicked you
I have a bone to pick
Please go on the paper
And fetch me my slippers
And stop meowing
Man's best friend wags his tail and bares his
Teeth to the man with the mail and though he's
Frightened of thunder, he never goes to war
Tell me what's the circumstance of circumsision
And what happens in my daughter's pants, is whose descision
I've seen the facts, of inter-race relations
Of see-through slacks, and cyber-masturbation
If one hundred monkeys each could have their own show
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
"You have faith, you just need to use it sayeth the lord"
I know why I like you,
It's cause of your sandals
And your supper
And 'cause you're JESUS
I have a match; your dad
My dad has your picture
Right next to your mother's
And one of Charo
They hold hands up in heaven and they
Say their son's name is Kevin but I
Read in a book somewhere that his name is
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack x2
