Strum
D-DU-UDU
C(major with added notes) Arpeggios on piano
Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true
I want everyone to listen and believe
It's about some little people from a long time ago
And all the things the neighbors didn't know
Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work
Selling lamps and chairs to San Ber'dino Squares
And I still remember mama with her apron and her pad
Feeding all the boys in Ed's Cafe
Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day
Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away
And all the while on a shelf in a shed
Kenny's little creature's on display
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
A marvel to be seen; dysentery green
While Kenny and his buddies had a game out in the back
LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK!
We see them after school in a world of their own
To some it might seem creepy what they do...
The neighbors on the right sat and watched them every night
I bet you'd do the same if they was you
(CHORUS)
Ronnie's in the Army now and Kenny's taking pills
Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn!
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
Wait till the fire turns green...
Wait till the fire turns green...
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!
