Lyrics

(CN.C.)Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Got ya, I shot ya.

And ya blood y know I did.

I got ya, I shot ya.

I stopped it with me bin lid.

Bin lid?

But you know that if you cross your fin gers

and if you count from one to ten,

you can get up off the ground a gain.

It does n’t mat ter, the whole thing’s just a game.

My (Cm)name is El li ot Ness and la dy, (Gm)here’s me card, I’m (Cm)look ing for one Al Ca pone.

Who?

Mac, (Eb)check out the (F)back.

Sarge, you (Bb)check (F)the (Gm)yard!

But (Cm)pal, I’ve told ya: Al ain’t (Dm)home.

Oh yeah?

Bang, bang, bang.

So, (Cm)la dy, can I use your (F)tel e (Dm)phone?

But you (Bb)know that if you (F)cross your fin gers

and if you count from (F)one to ten,

you can get up off the ground a gain.

It does n’t mat ter, the whole thing’s (F#dim)just a game.

When (Cm)I say draw, you’d bet ter (Gm)grab that gun and (Cm)may be say a lit tle prayer.

’Cause I’m the (Eb)fast est draw that man, you (Bb)ev (F)er (Gm)saw.

Call up your wom an, say good (Gm)bye to her.

’Cause ya know you’re go ing (F)right down (Dm)there!

But you know that if you cross your fin gers

and if you count from one to ten,

you can get up off the ground a gain.

It does n’t mat ter the whole thing’s just a game.

My (Cm)name’s Pro fes sor Howe, an’ zees (Gm)bomb I hold, (Cm)it can des troy the he mis (Gm)phere.

I’ve (Eb)primed it, I’ve (F)timed it (Bb)to (F)ex (Gm)plode

un less you let me (F)out of here.

(F)No!

No!?

Then I sug gest you (F)cov er up your ears.

But you (F)know that if you cross your fin gers

and if you count from (F)one to ten,

you can get up off the ground a gain.

It does n’t mat ter, the whole thing’s (F#dim)just a game,

the whole thing’s (F#dim)just a game.

the whole thing’s (F#dim)just a (Gm)game.
