verse 1
D
I was walking down the street one day
And my mind was in a slide
D
When this well-dressed, all-dressed, hot dog said
“French fries on the side”
E
He was golden brown and about six feet long
His bun was toasted fast
G
As he turned away, he did remark
A7
“Frankfurts built to last”
D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
A7 D
And my poppa didn’t say
A7
This world’s a busy place
D
And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened
G A7 D A7 D
And Poppa never played
verse 2
Once I came home with a brand new suit
And a charge account to boot
D
There was a Chevrolet sitting on the couch
With a Cadillac ready to toot
E
After drinks and conversation too
‘Bout the meaning of inner need
G
Said, you’re a man for real, Yes, it’s a deal
A7
Satisfaction’s guaranteed
D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
A7 D
And my poppa didn’t say
A7
This world’s a busy place

And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened

verse 3
I was lying on my desk at ease
Cancelling the afternoon
D
When the door swung open to a fruit of the loom
Screaming, “Smoke me to the moon”
E
He was a xenophobe with a .38
Besides a ruptured spleen
G
But I kept my cool, as he slowly drooled
A7
Only Brand X cleans to clean
