Intro:
E MajorE


Verse 1:
E MajorE
He was playing pool and drinking beer
E MajorE
Nothing more'n the occasional tear
E MajorE
But this man's life goes on (and) he gets greased
E MajorE
All over from time to time
E MajorE
At the strip joint, where we met
E MajorE
He said 'Hi, my name is Ted
E MajorE
See that one over there
E MajorE
That ball of thunder
E MajorE           BB
Every time she goes Vavoom
BB
I wiggle in my chair
BB           E MajorE
Can I buy you a beer?
E MajorE
What a guy


Verse 2:
E MajorE
'I've had a few myself' he said
E MajorE
'But I never quit when I'm ahead
E MajorE
Too many rules and regulations
E MajorE
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors
E MajorE
And another thing I won't discuss is religion
E MajorE
It always causes a fight
BB
Vavoom
BB
There she goes again
BB              E MajorE
'How does she do that' said Ted

E MajorE
And he told me of those injustices (that)
E MajorE
He had suffered in his life
E MajorE
His wife and kids and boss and dogs
E MajorE
And neighbours raising cain and causing strife
E MajorE
They were forever whining
E MajorE
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying
BB
Vavoom
BB
He fed them well
BB
He keep them warm
E MajorE
Ted, Ted the mechanic!


Verse 4:
E MajorE
Thing about Ted he didn't really care
E MajorE
Nothing much got in his hair
E MajorE
And the beauty of it was that he was right
E MajorE
He was big as a truck and fast as a door
E MajorE
 (what's that?) he was always right
E MajorE
The banjo player took a hike
E MajorE
What's that song I used to like
BB
Vavoom
BB
Big as a truck
BB            E MajorE
He was fast as a door - Ted

What a guy!

Ted the man, our Ted

Ted the man, our Ted
E MajorE
Ted the man, our Ted
