1. If I could be anything in the world that flew,

   D                                              G

    I would be a bat and come swooping after you.

           D                                               G

    And if the last time you were here things were a bit askew,

                      D#           Bb                    F

    well, you know what happens after dark,

               D#                               Bb                     F

    when rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts,

           D#                 Bb                       F

    and all the missionaries lose their bark.

 

           C                        F                 G

    Oh, all the trees are calling after you,

           C                      F                  G

    and all the venom snipers after you,

           C                            F                  G

    and all the mountains boulder after you.

 

    D                                                    G

2. If I could be any one of the things in this world that bite,

          D                                                       G

    instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash I'd rather be a kite,

                  D                                                 G

    and be tied to the end of your string and flying in the air at night,

                        D#                   Bb                          F

    'cause you know what they say about honey bears,

                       D#        Bb                   F

    when you shave off all their baby hair,

     D#                       Bb                         F

    you have a hairy minded pink bare bear.

 

            C                       F                    G

    And all the bells are rolling out for you,

              C                   F                      G

    and stones all are erupting out for you,

           C                           F                                    G

    and all the cheap luck suckers are flying after you.

3. Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were grooving on the street,

            D                                  G

   and just like in a movie her hands became her feet.

             D                              

    Her belly button was her mouth,

                                G

    which meant she tasted what she'd speak,

                D#                           Bb                        F

    but the funny thing is what happened to her nose,

         D#             Bb                         F

    it grew until it reached all of her toes,

                D#                           Bb                                      F

    now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose.

 

             C                             F                            G

    And curtains laced with diamonds, dear, for you,

            C                      F                   G

    and all the Roman noblemen for you,

            C                              F                           G

    and kingdom's Christian soldiers, dear, for you,

              C                       F                        G

    and melting ice cap mountain tops for you,

              C                         F                      G

    and knights in flaming silver robes for you,

             C                      F                            G

    and bats that with a kiss turn prince for you.

C        F                - G

    Swoop, swoop,        oh baby, rock, rock !

C      F                   - G

    swoop, swoop,         rock, rock …
