[C] I'm gonna start him off on ragtime as [Am] soon as I can.
You know what?
He'll love it.
_ [A] Don't know what?
He's into a Dixieland [Am] band.
Antland Elvis.
[B] He's gonna be [A] getting his kicks.
_ [Em] Playing them [C] 1926.
[A] _ [C] _
Life's a scuba [E]-do-ba-do.
_ [C] _ Boop-a-doop-a-do-boop.
_ He's fascinated with the kingdom of [Dm] swing.
Then moved [Em] to bebop.
_ Wish that I [A] could show him what's the very next [Am] piece.
But I know [Fm] that he'll go.

[E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ How the hell did he get hung up on rock and [Dm] roll and country [Em] music? _
Funny chicks [A] that turned him into Beatles and [Am] soul.
Some call it music.
Had to have rocks in his [G] head.
_ Listen [Cm] to the Grateful [D] Dead.
_ [C] _ And rang-dang-do the electric boys.
[G] Their goal is [E] [Am] noise.
When he plays the samba, we forgive and forget.
