Verse 3 same as 1
I shoulda learned to play the guitar 
I shoulda learned to play them drums 
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' 
in the camera Man we could have some 
And he's up there, what's that? 
Hawaiian noises? Bangin' on the bongos 
like a chimpanzee 

That ain't workin' that's the way you do it 
Get your money for nothin' 
get your chicks for free 

(CHORUS)

Verse 4 same as 1

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
