_ _ _ _ _ _

Hi Bob!
Hi Ray, how you doing?
Yeah, thanks. _ _ _ _ _
Well, tonight they're back with their new image, Dr.
Hook.
Oh, baby! _
_ _ _ _ _
You're gonna have a hard time getting that in your nose, man.
[Em] There was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a group called Scrum of the Earth
And they say they got [F#] their birth
[B] In a basement bar on Greek Street down [Em] in Soho
_ [B] _ _
[Em] The bass man, he smoked grass
And the drummer, he kicked [F#] ass
[B] And the lead guitar made speed while [Em]
everybody boogies
[B] _ _ _ [Em]
The drummer's name was Mavis
He was a twice [F#] convicted rapist
[B] They say he learned to play in a garage [E] band in Balham
_ [B] _ He [Em] cut out your heart for a dime
[B] And he kept [F#] lousy time
But the rest of the band was too damn [E] scared to tell him
[G] _ [A] And Scrum of the Earth, they just kept [Em] boogieing on
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
Until the [B] fire was burned out and gone _
[Em] Now the bass man's name was Spiker
And he dressed like a [F#] black jacket piker
[B] But underneath his leathers he wore black [Em] lace silk panties
[B] _ _
[Em] They say he sang his sweet love number _
_ Directly to [F#] the drummer
[B] While he kept an eye on the guitar [Em] player's _ [B] panties _
[Em] On lead guitar was Static
He was a health [F#] food fanatic
[B] He lived on berries and nuts and had [Em] scurvy and rickets
_ [B] _ _
[Em] He did his yoga _ exercising
And he kept on [F#] trying and trying
[B] Until finally he could bend all the way [Em] over a legged
_ _ And [A] the Scrum of the Earth, they just kept [Em] boogieing on _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ Until the fire [B] was burned out and gone
[G] _ _ [Em] Now one night Scrum of the Earth
He was playing for all [F#] they was worth
_ [B] Guitar screams and wails and cymbal crashes _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ Louder, faster and higher
Till their electric [F#] cords caught fire
[B] And the whole damn band was burned to a pile [E] of ashes
_ _ [A] And the Scrum of the Earth, they just kept [Em] boogieing on _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
Until the fire [B] was burned out and gone
And the _
[A] Scrum of the Earth, they just kept [Bm] boogieing on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _
