Intro:

[G]Forty five minutes-fifty five cents
S[C]ixty five agents sitting on a fence
Singing, h[G]ey little brother l[D]ook what we got for y[G]ou
We're gonna rope off an an area and put on a show
From the Ca[C]nadian border down to Mexico
It might [G]be the most - potentially gross
T[D]hing that we could possibly [G]do
[D]Yeah, little buddy, gonna get your chance
Make th[G]em pubescents all wet their pants
We'll re[A]cord it live and that's no jive
[D]Hold it! Stop it! No! No! No! No!
[G]Bang! went the pistol
Crash! went the window

Oh, you ha[C]ven't gone on yet. Well h[D]ow was I supposed to k[G]now.
Hey! We got a great date. It's really downtown
We're gonna g[C]et the Grand Canyon to do the sound
It's a b[G]oxing ring but it might be the thing
To re[D]ally get you in the do[G]ugh
