[“Peter Brady”]
Intro:
x 2
(enter drums)
x 2
:
Don’t you see that people will like you for who you
are Cause life is like a sitcom, a senior prom
And I’m okay and you’re okay, grade A, ten-four
Roger, over and out, listen up, check it out
:
There’s something ugly inside of you, inside of you
There’s a big empty hole inside of you, inside of you
There’s something creepy crawling on your brain
There’s something in you, it’s red white and blue inside of you
x4
:
As long as you don’t have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won’t be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won’t tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see
:
There’s something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There’s a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don’t be a baby — there’s a Pete Brady inside of you
x4 (with “Inside of you”s)
Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars. (This is the “Boy, I really
learned a lot today” part.)
:
One: You act your age
Two: You don’t try to be something you’re not
Three: You find out in advance
A#(pm)
What restaurant your mom and dad are going to
And go someplace else
x3 (with “Go someplace else”s)

Lead riff — played intermittently throughout, usually after the chorus
(keyboard transcribed for guitar)

#(“I’m Gonna Strangle You”)
#
What I wanna say I’m gonna say to you
And what I wanna do I’m gonna do to you
And if you should decide that
That you don’t like it, get out
When I wanna talk I’ll talk all over you
And when I wanna walk I’ll walk all over you
And if I have to drag you
Kicking and screaming I will
What I wanna do, what I wanna do-oo-oo, I’m gonna strangle you
What I wanna do, what I wanna do-oo-oo, I’m gonna strangle you
What I wanna do, what I wanna do-oo-oo, I’m gonna strangle you
B E F# (strike once and let hang)
What I wanna do, what I wanna do-oo-oo
I’m gonna strangle you tonight
(B G# E F#) Repeat until the end. End on B.
