   G+G                     D MajorD
I’m a vendor of quack nostrums born in a Kansas shack
    D7D7                C majorC        G+G
I came down to Greenwich Village with a tea chest on my back
                        D MajorD
I danced a while for Andy and crashed his Cadillac
    D7D7           G+G
And now I’m just waiting for my ban.

I’ve been a “he”, I’ve been a “she”, a “maybe” and “who knows?”
                    D MajorD
I’ve has the CBGBs, I’ve turkeyed way upstate
  D7D7           G+G
So don’t you rock me, Daddio.
