VERSE 1:

D           A              G
Brendan and Sally are in a tent
D           A       G
And they're getting spent
D       A                       G
Kerin reversed his car down the road
D           A                G
Cause he's about to blow his load

D         A                  G
We made a fire and it didn't light
D                A               G
Now we're in the darkness of the night, yeah
D                   A                     G
Cause the people of Balgal turned off the lights
D         A                        G
The crazy people wanted to start a fight

Em                             A  Asus4  A
Gilbert went down to water the plants (water the plants)
Em                        A  Asus4  A
Cause of the snake in his pants (oh in my pants)
Em                          A  Asus4  A
When he got back he let one rip (oh I let it rip)
Em                       A  Asus4  A
Sounded like he ripped a shit (oh what a shit)

D        A               G
And this song goes on forever
D         A                    G
How do we know when it's gonna end
D              A            G
Cause it's the Stop It Boys song
             D   A     G
Oh, it's the song, the Stop It Boys song

D        A                        G
Soon the night's going to turn to day, yay, yay, yay
D       A                        G
And our camping trip's gonna go away
D           A                 G
Don't have enough supplies to stay
D                     A                 G
Cause the guys in the tent are about to lay (lay, lay, lay)

Em                   A  Asus4  A
But we'll come back,           for another day
Em                     A  Asus4  A
Maybe sometime in May,           we'll make our way
Em                         A  Asus4  A                   D
Stop It Boys will be back,           for another camping trip

D             A            Em                          D
Yeah, another camping trip,   oh yeah, another camping trip
D             A             G
            Another camping trip

D             A                    Em
Knock, knock, knockin' on Balgal's door (yai, yai, yai yai yai)
D             A                    G
Knock, knock, knockin' on Balgal's door (yai, yai, yai yai yai)
D             A                    Em
Knock, knock, knockin' on Balgal's door (yai yai yai)
D             A                    G
Knock, knock, knockin' on Balgal's door

                 D                 A                 Em
