Boombox by The Lonely Island

Chords with lyrics

The lonely Island featuring Julian Casablancas


INTRO:  Chord diagramF minorFm Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramBbmBbm Chord diagramC minorCm


VERSE:
Chord diagramF minorFm                               Chord diagramAbAb
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
Chord diagramBbmBbm                        Chord diagramC minorCm
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
Chord diagramF minorFm                 Chord diagramAbAb
The spread is bland, sauerkraut and boiled goose
Chord diagramBbmBbm                          Chord diagramC minorCm
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
Chord diagramF minorFm                          Chord diagramAbAb
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
Chord diagramBbmBbm                 Chord diagramC minorCm
And what happened next will blow your mind



CHORUS:
Chord diagramF minorFm                       Chord diagramBbmBbm
Everything got out of control
Chord diagramEb MajorEb             Chord diagramAbAb      Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
The music was so entrancing
Chord diagramF minorFm                       Chord diagramBbmBbm
Everyone got out on the floor
Chord diagramEb MajorEb             Chord diagramAbAb               Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
It was a bunch of old, white people dancing


VERSE:
Chord diagramF minorFm                Chord diagramAbAb
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Chord diagramBbmBbm                      Chord diagramC minorCm          Chord diagramEb MajorEb
Spirits go down while profits expand
Chord diagramF minorFm                       Chord diagramAbAb
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
Chord diagramBbmBbm                                Chord diagramC minorCm
The street vendors peddling their boiled goose

Chord diagramF minorFm                            Chord diagramAbAb
So many types of people, they'll never get along
Chord diagramBbmBbm                        Chord diagramC minorCm
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song

Chord diagramF minorFm                             Chord diagramBbmBbm
The music washed away all the hate
Chord diagramEb MajorEb               Chord diagramAbAb    Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
And society started advancing
Chord diagramF minorFm                   Chord diagramBbmBbm
Every demographic was represented
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                   Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
BRIDGE:
Chord diagramF minorFm Chord diagramBbmBbm       Chord diagramEb MajorEb                 Chord diagramAbAb            Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
Woah, everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Chord diagramF minorFm Chord diagramBbmBbm          Chord diagramEb MajorEb                      Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
Woah, I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman


VERSE:
Chord diagramF minorFm                  Chord diagramBbmBbm
Transport now to an old folks home
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                               Chord diagramAbAb      Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
Chord diagramF minorFm                     Chord diagramBbmBbm
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                          Chord diagramAbAb
Every day for lunch they eat boiled goose

Chord diagramF minorFm                              Chord diagramAbAb
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass
Chord diagramBbmBbm                  Chord diagramC minorCm          Chord diagramEb MajorEb
And what happened next was a total disgrace



CHORUS:
Chord diagramF minorFm                      Chord diagramBbmBbm
Everybody started having sex
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                   Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
The music was way too powerful
Chord diagramF minorFm                         Chord diagramBbmBbm
Chord diagramA augmentedA bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                       Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
It was disgusting to say the least


OUTRO:
Chord diagramF minorFm                        Chord diagramBbmBbm
Chord diagramA augmentedA boombox can change the world
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                      Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
Chord diagramF minorFm                    Chord diagramBbmBbm
This was a cautionary tale
Chord diagramEb MajorEb                Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramAbmaj7Abmaj7 Chord diagramF minorFm
Chord diagramA augmentedA boombox is not a toy


VERSE:
Chord diagramF minorFm
Now, picture if you will a bunch of businessmen

Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen

The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose

In the middle of the table, there's a boiled goose

The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink

These dudes'll never dance, yeah, that's what you think

I stride in the room all young and hip

Hold up my boombox and say, "Listen to this!"


Then everyone started to move

People rejoiced instead of financing

Your preconceived notions were shattered

By the super old, white people dancing
