Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
G+G
Why's everybody laughing?
C majorC   D7/F#D7/F#    G+G
Weepy doesn't know.
G+G
He just stands there grinning,
 A augmentedA     D MajorD
I guess he's kinda slow;
   G+G
But Weepy don't get sore,
   C majorC
Seems like he asks for more
G+G            C majorC   D7/F#D7/F#     G+G
Look at all the broken dishes on the floor.

Verse 2:
G+G
Weepy can't do nothin',
C majorC    D7/F#D7/F#    G+G
There's nothin' he can do.
G+G
Sometimes he takes all morning
 A augmentedA     D MajorD
To find his other shoe.
 G+G
Hey, Goddamn it, Sid,
 C majorC
Lay off the poor dumb kid!
G+G            C majorC   D7/F#D7/F#     G+G
Come on Weep, I'll show you where it's hid.

Verse 3:
G+G
He's so damned good natured,
 C majorC    D7/F#D7/F#    G+G
Just laughs and takes his lumps.
 G+G
You never seen him angry
 A augmentedA     D MajorD
'Cept when he's croaking gumps.
 G+G
But that's no big surprise,
 C majorC
It's right there in his eyes;
G+G            C majorC   D7/F#D7/F#     G+G
Looks like Weepy's found him something more his size.

Verse 4:
G+G
Just like all these dishes
C majorC    D7/F#D7/F#    G+G
There's something in him broke;
 G+G
Don't guess we mean to hurt him
 A augmentedA     D MajorD
When we play our little joke.
 G+G
Still the social workers say
 C majorC
He might have to go away,
G+G            C majorC   D7/F#D7/F#     G+G
Well, you ask him - I bet he'd like to stay.

Verse 5:

Why's everybody laughing?

He just stands there grinning,
 A augmentedA     D MajorD
I guess he's kinda slow;
