[G] This week's programme is slightly longer than the other week's programmes,
and so we had to fit an extra guest in.
Fortunately, we've got enough space for an extra guest.
But, and they very kindly came at the last moment,
but there wasn't really a sort of a stage for them,
because all the stages had been built.
I hope they've got a dressing room, I hope they've treated that well.
Fortunately, from the Lemonheads, our guest is Evan Zander.
Thank you for coming along.
[Ab] I believe you're going to be borrowing David's guitar.
Is that [G] OK?
We're very kind of you to come with a borrowed guitar
and come out from the crowd and do all of that there like that.
Get it, the work it says.
What are you going to sing for us?
I need [Abm] a cable of [G] some kind.
Yeah, a cable.
I'm going to do a song called Being Around.
Yeah?
Evan Zander, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.

[G] If I was your body, [C] would you still wear clothes?
[G] If I was a [Em] booger, [D] would you blow your nose?
Where would you [C] keep it?
[D] Would you eat it?
I'm [G] just trying to get [Em] myself a reason [C] for [D]
[G] being around.
If I was the front porch swing, would you [C] let me hang?
[G] If I was the dance [D] floor, would you shake your thing?
[Am]
[G] If I was a rubber check, would you [C] let me bounce
[G] up and [Em] down [D] inside your bank account?
[G]
Would you [C] trust me not [G] to break you?
I'm just trying really hard to make you notice me being around.

[D] [G]
If I was the carpet, would you [C] wipe your feet?

[C] If you liked me, if [D] you loved me, [G] would you get down on your [Em] knees and scrub me?
[C] I'm a little grubby, [D] [Am] just [G] being around.
