[Gb] [C] [Db] [Abm]
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Abm] One, dee da [Db] da dee da [B] dum
[Ab] You may talk about your colleges, [Db] Fair Harvard and old Yale
And all the universities whose banners brave the gale
And all the football heroes, their glory and renown
[B] I never went to college, but I know I've been to town
[Db] I may not be a football hero
But [B] I'm a star with a beautiful [Db] girl
[Abm] You never see me in the thick [Db] of a fight
[Ab] Cause I do my scoring mostly at [B] night
[Db] I never tackle any dummies
[Gb] I've played [Ebm] the best from near [F] and far
No [Gb] I ain't, no I'm not a [Db] football hero
[Bb] But [B] I'm a bear in a lady's [Db] [Ab] boudoir
[Db] They play football on the gridiron
[Gb] Where the ground is rough [Db] and hard
I [Ab] do my playing [Bbm] on a divan
[Ab] The ladies all say [Eb] I'm a triple [C] threat man
[Db] I [Ab] never have to [Db] call for timeout
[Gb] For I'm always [F] up to par
No [Gb] I ain't, no I'm [A] not a [Db] football hero
[Bb] But [Eb] I'm a bear [Abm] in a [Db] lady's boudoir
[B] [Db] I never fought for Alma Mater
[Gb] Because she never [Db] fought for [Bbm] me
[Ab] The boys win a letter for not [Bbm] playing rough
[Ab] I should get an [Eb] alphabet for [C] doing my stuff
[Db] [Ab] I'm pretty good at [Db] center rushing
[Gb] That's [Ebm] the place I [F] really star
Oh [Gb] I may not be, [Ab] I'm not a [Db] football hero
[Bb] [B] But I'm a dog in a [Abm]
[Db] lady's [B] boudoir
[Bb] One time I [Db] swung into action
[Gb] I was rewarded with wild [Bbm] acclaim
[Abm] The captain said to me, [Db] you're just a little runt
[Ab] As long as you've been playing
[Eb] You've never [Ebm] touched a punt
[Db] When [Ab] I removed [Db] my interference
[Gb] The goal was not [F] so very far
Oh [Gb] I ain't, I'm not, I'm not a [Db] football hero
[Bb] But [B] I'm a lady in [Abm] a lady's boudoir
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Bbm]
