Turn on the fan, take off your skirt

And the car in the lane next to me was driven by a little boy
E minorEm                  C majorC              E minorEm
And he flashed a smile at me then he drove straight off the road
            C majorC            G+G
Smacked an overpass, I watched his car explode

I know I'm no longer fun
