    F7 Ebmaj7 Many call but few are chosen


    Hey pretty baby let’s have a little fun The Pinot is flowing and the night’s still young Over and above and behind and between Make a little party for Selfish Gene

    Steady girl let me grab on your wig hat Down in the corncrib we shall go No brains no regrets no worries Hidey hi hidey hey hidey ho Kundalini now! Baby let me show you how

    I guess that’s everything I suppose The playdate’s over and the case is closed Tell me momma that I didn’t do right To have a little something on Amateur Night

    I feel sure that we’ll meet again sometime Don’t see why and I don’t know when Maybe I’ll catch you down at the daily If you haven’t moved on by then Take a dollar from the drawer Daddy’s got a whole lot more


    Selfish Gene needs clarity and closure This is his house and that’s your cab You need a hug — now don’t be bashful


    Do yourself and your friend a favor You don’t bargain with Selfish Gene Selfish Gene don’t take no prisoners
