An oth er dawn, (Eb)an oth er (Bb)day, an oth er dol (F)lar to be made.

And I don’t care (Eb)what (Bb)you think you know

’bout who I am and how it goes.

I made it eas (Eb)y to be (Bb)me, so yeah, it’s eas (F)y to be me.

(Eb)And that’s (G7)why I say…

I know you can’t stand me ’cause I make you so an gry more and more each day.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

The way you don’t love me kind a makes you look ug ly, ev ’ry word you say.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

Come up and see me.

Ho, ho, ho!

I kind a like the a buse.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

There’s no room in my bed but while you’re here just bow your (Bb)head and you can shine my shoes.

Shine (F)my shoes.

Shine (F)my shoes.

(Un til I see my face.)
