[Verse 1]
[G]I woke up this morning
I had a [C/G]scone and a large house [G]blend[C/G] [G]
And [C]then a little [G/B]conver-[Am]sation with my [C]squirrel and chipmunk [D]friends
I said I'm [G]sick and tired of winter
And I [C/G]wish that it was [G]spring[C/G] [G]
And [C]then a little [G/B]fellow named [Am]Robin Redbreast
[C] Began to si[D]ng[D#dim7]
And he sang
[Pre-Cborus 1]

I [G]thanked him for the information
I cried a [C/G]little when he flew [G]away[C/G] [G]
I [C]watched an epi[G/B]sode of The [Am]People's Court
And I [C]tried to plan my [D]day
I [G]called up my old lady
She wasn't [C/G]home so I called my [G]girl[C/G] [G]
I [C]asked her if she'd [G/B]like to jo[Am]in me as I
[C] Entertain the [D]world[D#dim7]
And I said
[Pre-Cborus 2]
[Em]Ooh ooh child, I'll bring a blanket and I [Am]promise I will brush the ants off
[Em]Ooh ooh child, you're gonna like it when we're [Am]taking each other's p[D]ants off

[Verse 3]
So we [G]went to the park together
We were [C/G]walking in the midday [G]sun[C/G] [G]
We [C]met all [G/B]kinds of [Am]people and
We[C] f**ked every[D]one
We [G]f**ked a lady who sells ice cream
We f**ked a [C/G]man with a tan Shar [G]Pei[C/G] [G]
[C]Everyone who [G/B]needed [Am]f**king well the[C]y
They got f**ked to[D]day[D#dim7]
So come on
[Pre-Cborus 3]
[Em] Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your [Am]heart, feel-the-spirit moving through you
[Em] Ooh ooh child, you'll feel the warmth of the [Am]love when I stick it t[D]o you
