[Eb] [Ebm]
[Ab] [Db]
When I was young and growing up, not so long [Ab] ago,
Like everyone I learned songs from [Db] the radio.
I'd strum along with my guitar, the bagatelle, the [Bbm] smoky.
[Ab] I never heard of this machine that they call [Db] karaoke.
Now each weekend with my friends we played the [Ab] local bars,
Like those boys from Sligo, we thought [Db] we would be stars.
But then the landlord called us in, showed us this strange [Bb] yokey.
[Ab] There was no need for a three-piece band, now he had [Db] karaoke.
Now [Gb] there's Elvis Presley, wannabes, and the short Chennai Queens.
[Eb] The girls who sing I Will Survive won't see eighteen [Ab] again.
They [Db] read the words from off the screen, though some can't sing a [Bbm] notey.
[Ab] I'd love to get that little get to invented [Db] karaoke.
Each Friday night I'd sit at home, think what [Ab] should I do.
Jump on a plane to Japan, search for [Db] Mr.
Food.
If I could get my hands on him, I'd give him hokey [Eb] pokey.
[Ab] For what he did to all my gigs with his [Db] karaoke.
Now [Gb] there's Kenny Rogers, wannabes, and some [Db] of them are fine.
[Eb] The women all sing crazy, they think they're [Ab] Patsy Cline.
[Db] They read the words from off the screen, though some can't sing [Ebm] a [Ab] notey.
I'd love to get that little get to invented [Db] karaoke.
[D] And then I think it's just a phase that very soon will [A] pass.
Maybe like a Rubik's Cube, karaoke will not [D] last.
Me and my band can sing again, okey from [Em] Skowhee.
[A] Maybe then I can forget this thing called karaoke.
[D] [G] Now there's Dolly Parton, wannabes, and Tom Jones [D] lookalikes.
[E] It's not unusual for 9 to 5 to be sung ten [A] times a night.
[D] They read the words from off the screen, though some can't sing a notey.
[A] I'd love to get that little get to invented karaoke.
Oh I hate that man from Japan and his [D] karaoke.
