    Intro:  Main Riff x8

     

    w/Main Riff:

    Come on come on baby

    Let me show you what I'm talkin' about

    You try to be a lady

    But you're walkin' like a sour kraut

    Looka looka lika lika

    Like you wanna get some

    If you never tell a lie

    Then you never have to play dumb

     

    Prechorus (w/High Riff):

    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 we've got a situation

    Pretty baby open invitation

    Little lady what a reputation

    Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

     

    Chorus:

    C5         Bb5            F5            G5

        I know you can straddle the atmosphere

    C5           Bb5            F5       G5

       A tiny storm in your teacup girl

    C5     Bb5             F5            G5

        I know you can battle the masses, dear

    C5           Bb5              D5 (1½)     F5 (½ high voicing)

       A tiny storm in your teacup girl

    Every other day you say

    You're gonna have to bury em'

    Famous last words

    Spoken from the laserium

    Descendents had a record

    Sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo

    You can take an A-train

    But you're gonna have to lie low
