Notes:
This is one cool song that Denis uses to finish off his truly excellent set.
It is not a hard song to play, just a long one to play. I'll say no more...
This is just one of those "you have to listen to this song" songs!
Intro:
This rhythm section in the intro is repeated continuously throughout the
whole song, with very little changes!! I've left the changes out since
anyone can spot them!

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream
About me, about you
About that special feeling we get,
Way down in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub-cockle area
Maybe in the liver
Maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon
We don't know
Verse 1:
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job
I'm your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and (the) books about war
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar
Verse 2:
But sometimes that just ain't enough,
To keep a man like me interested
(Oh no)
No way
(Ahh, ahh)
No, I gotta go out and fun at somebody else's expense
(Oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pre Chorus:
I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane
Chorus:
I'm an asshole (asshole) (I'm an asshole)
I'm an asshole (asshole) breeoh, breeoh, breeoh
Interlude:
I use public toilets and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying "how about this heat?"
Chorus:
I'm an asshole (asshole) (I'm an asshole)
I'm an asshole (asshole) breeoh, breeoh, breeoh
Interlude:
Sometimes I park in the handicap space
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
Chorus:
I'm an asshole (asshole) (I'm an asshole)
I'm an asshole (asshole) breeoh, breeoh, breeoh
Bridge:
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
Naah...
Chorus:
I'm an asshole (asshole) (I'm an asshole)
I'm an asshole (asshole) breeoh, breeoh, breeoh
Voice Solo:
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 cadillac Eldorado convertable
Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather interior
And big round baby seal lights for headlights
Yeah, and I'm gonna drive 'round that baby,
At 115 miles per hour, getting one mile per gallon,
Sucking down quarter punder cheeseburgers from McDonalds,
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers,
I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side
And there ain't a God damn thing anyone can do about it,
You know why?
Because we got the bombs, that's why
Two words, "nuclear weapons", okay?
Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania,
Thinking of all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy take off,
Right through the middle of Tianemun Square
And it won't make a living difference,
Because we've got the bombs, okay?
John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer,
We're gonna thaw out the Duke
And he's gonna be pretty pissed off, You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Multiply that by fifteen million times
Thats how pissed off the Duke's gonna be
I'm gonna get the Duke,
And John Cassavettes, Lee Marvin and Sam Beckamore
And a case of whisky
And drive down to Czech...
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(You know what? You really are an asshole)
Why don't you shut up and play the song?
Man!
Chorus:
I'm an asshole (asshole) (I'm an asshole)
I'm an asshole (asshole) breeoh, breeoh, breeoh
Outro:
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
(Woo, ooh)
I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it
Thank you and goodnight ladies and gentlemen
I'm a sphincter
i'm a raptor
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Well that is all there is of that. I'm probably going to transcribe more of
Mr Leary's, so watch this space. Meanwhile, you just keep on laughing and
enjoying comedy!
Take it easy... C-ya! =)
