version 5
A5x4 A5 C5x3 B#5 D5
A5 C5
We started living in an old house
A5 C5
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
A5
It was a baby boy
C5
So we bought him a toy
B#5
It was a ray gun
D5
And it was 1981
A5
We named him "Baby"
C5
He had a toothache
A5
He started crying
C5
It sounded like an earthquake
A5
It didn't last long
C5
Because I stopped it
B#5
I grabbed a rag doll
B5
Stuck some little pins in it
A5
Now we're a family
C5
And we're alright now
A5
We got money and a little place
C5
To fight now
A5
We don't know you
C5
And we don't owe you
B#5
But if you see us around
B5
I got something else to show you
A5 C5x3 B#5 B5
A5x4 A5 C5x3 B#5 D5
A5 C5
Now it's easy when you don't know better
A5
You think it's sleazy?
C5
Then put it in a short letter
A5
We keep warm
C5
But there's just something wrong with ya
B#5 B5
Just feel that you're the hardest little button to button
A5 C5
I had opinion that didnt matter
A5 C5
I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
A5 C5
I got a backyard with nothing in it
B#5
Except a stick, a dog
B5
And a box with something in it
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
Ah oh
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
Ah oh
A5 C5
The hardest button to button
B#5 B5
A5 C5x4
A5
The hardest button to button
C5
The hardest button to button
A5
The hardest button to button
C5
The hardest button to button
