_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, well, [Ab] _ _ that sure is an old man that's playing that good talk.
_ _ Max, you look ten days older [E] than Warner.
[B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ Say, look here!
[B] What now?
_ [E] Looks like your process [Bm] took a recess.
[E] _
_ _ _ That's all right. _
At least I can afford to get one.
You're wearing one of them do-it-yourself jobs, [B] ain't you?
_ _ Say.
Yeah?
I [E] wrote a song about you.
Let me hear it.
Sure you want to hear it?
I want to hear all of it.
Never mind the tempo.
You just jump on in there.
All right.
_ _ _ You is one ugly child.
Who can your [B] mama be?
[E] _ _ Oh.
_ I got another [B] verse you want to [E] hear?
Go ahead and sing it.
Let me hear it, man.
Lay it down there for me.
Well, if I [Bm] was your daddy, [E] I'd go and jump in the sea. _
No, [B] I ain't going to talk about you like that.
After all, [E] it wasn't your fault.
_ _ _ Look here!
[B]
[E] Yeah?
I heard you had a new job, too.
[B] That right.
[E] You want to hear what kind of job I heard that you had?
What kind of job I got now?
[Ab] Standing out in front of the doctors all day making [B] people sick.
_ _ That's all right.
[E] I heard something about you, too.
You heard about me?
Yes, I did.
I heard that you were so ugly that [B] when you cried,
the tears ran down the back of your head to [E] keep them coming towards your face.
_ Say, look here.
[Bm] What's that?
What size shoes you wear? _
[E] Ten and a half.
_ _ Yeah.
That right.
I figured you was going to say that.
Your feet look like you got on violin cases.
Hey, you fellas.
_ _ _ I still ain't got nothing to do with it,
but I just want to tell y'all that ain't neither one of y'all good-looking. _ _ _ _ _
