SONG TITLE: Original Prankster
ARTIST/GROUP: Offspring
ALBUM: Conspiracy Of One
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk

I shouldn't like this song but I do. I usually hate the Offspring but
for some reason I like this song, it's just so happy you can't not get
in a good mood when you hear it. And it's one of the most requested
songs of the last few weeks. For the verses and pre-choruses I just
tabbed them out and then put the lyrics below, but for the chorus I
just put the chords above the lyrics, I didn't think I needed to tab
out the chorus, you just strum the chords. I found the lyrics on the
net but there were some errors in them. There might be more, let me
know if you find any so I can correct them.
Whenever there's a *** under the tab it means play that part
palm-muted.

You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team, the double header
Son of Sam, fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplumb
Cos wherever you're at that's the chip used on
Lies, lies says he's down at the Bahamas
Tries, tries all you little hoochy mamas
No way, none of this is true
When you see it coming down when the joke's on you
PRE-CHORUS: [play like first PRE-CHORUS]
