Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Hit my snooze  alarm  for the 27th  time
 Just don't feel  like going  to work  - I think I'll  call my boss  then I'm
Gonna  hack  and cough  and wheeze
Swear  I've got  some strange  disease
What's  that little  twerp  gonna say?  Hey...
 (Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar)
 I'm callin'  in sick today
Callin'  in sick today
 I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
 I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp"
 I could sit and count my hair
 I could burp my Tupperware
 I'm not busy now anyway. Hey..........
 (Chorus)
 I'm callin'  in sick today
Callin'  in sick today
Ain't  going to work, no way
Callin'  in sick today
 (Bridge) - (same as chorus)
 I can do anything  I want to
 I am  invincible  now
I'm  on fire, baby
  I'm alive,  I'm alive, can you hear  me, world?
  I'm alive!
 Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun and trying not to squint
 Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my bellybutton lint
 When I'm sick of takin' abuse
 I just make up some lame excuse
 Freedom's just seven digits away. Hey...
 (Chorus)
 I'm callin'  in sick today
Callin'  in sick today
Ain't  going to work, no way
Callin'  in sick today
 (hold on )
Little Riff they play in the chorus
