[Verse 1]~
E A B E
I used to drive a race car,.. but I won every single time
E A B E E F#m G#m
I once met the great Elvis Presley way back in his prime
A E E F#m A
And the pilot had a heart attack,.. yeah,.. so I had to land the plane
A B A B
And I once saved a little kid from drownin',.. and I invented cellophane
[Verse 2]~
E A B E
I used to be a millionaire,.. I'd drop a thousand bucks a day
E A B E E F#m G#m
That only made me all the more lonely so I threw it all away
A E E F#m A
And I've lived almost everywhere,.. probably right in your own neighbourhood
A B A B
I once broke out of prison and I hid out in the woods
[Verse 3]~
E A B E
It was there that I discovered a dinosaur,.. and I'd drive a blue Corvette
E A B E E F#m G#m
I once swam clear across Lake Erie without even getting wet
A E E F#m A
I'm the guy who saved the show 'cause I know how to fix a fuse
A B A B
Are these pretzels complimentary..? Well,.. I don't mind if I do
[Verse 4]~
E A B E
I used to play the guitar myself 'till a press crushed my hand
E A B E E F#m G#m
Have you heard of the great Otis Redding..? Well,.. I played in his band
A E E F#m A
I once worked as a miner; I was an actor for a little while off in France
A B A B
And my uncle's cousin's brother taught Fred Astaire to dance
[Verse 5]~
E A B E
So if you ask me how to tango I'll wear down any rug
E A B E E F#m G#m
Cause if you've seen the way those kids all dance today I swear they're all on drugs
A E E F#m A
I could drink me a million drinks if a million drinks did appear
A B A B
But I only got enough for one more little beer
