together and so we'd like to sing it for you now.
Cue the tape.
John and the team were getting kind of itchy just to leave the folk music behind.
[E] And it ain't a worry [Bm] [B] to fish off the line.

Mug rumps, high jump, low slump, big bump, don't you work as hard as you please. [E] Make a shake up, [B] I guess that [F#] [E] I'm a daddy getting married [B] too. To catch a fire in L.A.,. [E] you know what I said. And everybody's getting [D] fat except [B] Mama's cats. Discussing, hey, Miss Kathy's brothers, and then she wants to go to the [E] sea. Cass can't make it, she says we'll have [B] to fake it, we knew she'd come eventually. [F#] Grease and auto-marinade, [E] but keep an eye on [B] the heat. Love is good vibrations, and our imaginations can't go on [E] indefinitely. And California [D] dreaming is becoming a [B] reality. [E] Becoming [D] a [B] reality. [E] [D]
