This really has to be the last one. _ _ _
Because this is a song that we don't have anything to follow.
_ _ _ _ Because the real gaffer,
_ _ [D] _ _ _
this song _ [G] _ _ [Em] is based on an incident,
[C] a recent incident,
_ [D] _
[A#] maybe you've had the same [G] experience.
_ _ [C] Driving along a very busy street,
[D] _ [E] _ in the afternoon traffic,
_ with [G] honking and [F#] screaming and scraping [G] of fenders
and sweating and swearing and [C]
dust and noise and heat,
[G] _ _ and you're just [C] glued to the wheel and it's horrible
and _ _
[C] somebody's bumping into your [G] bumper.
_ [C] And then you look at the [G] car next to you. _ _
[C] And the guy [G] that's driving along [C#] next to you is all [A#] cool and calm.
And [G] he has an expression of Buddha-like _ [C] serenity
[D] _ plastered all over his [C] face.
_ _ _ [G] And you wonder why [C] he is so serene.
_ [G] And then, _ [C] possibly you look to his dashboard,
[G] and there you see, [C] _
glowing in the [G] afternoon sunlight,
[C#] _ _ [G] _
about a 4-inch high _ [D] _ _ [G]
plastic [C] icon.
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ It [G] is merely supplying this [C] serenity to him.
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [C] Maybe this is how he heard [G] about it
_ _ and achieved this kind of satire.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ Good [E] morning, friends!
This is the Hour of Reckoning! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello, friends and neighbors! _
How do [D] you do?
We're here to [G] pick and sing
and [C] we hope we bring some [D] happiness [G] to you.
Hello, [E] friends and neighbors!
Here we are from Del Rio, Texas.
[D] Every morning at 5 [Bm].30 a.m.
[Em] Brought to [A] you by, [D] by,
the [A] Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icon Company of Del Rio, Texas
every morning at [A] 5.30. a.m. in the morning. [D] _ _ Friends, now we have [A] work for you from our [D] sponsors, the Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icon Company of Del Rio, Texas. I _ _ _ _ _ _ don't care if it rains or [G] freezes long as I've got my plastic [D] Jesus glued to the dashboard of my car. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You can buy him [G] phosphorescent glows in the dark. He's pink and [A] pleasant. Take him with you when you're traveling far. _ Hallelujah, friends! Yes, you too can own one. For only $1 [D].98, no CODs, please, Del Rio, Texas. _ _ [C] Hallelujah, and friends, if you send [D] in this week $2.98, you'll get in addition to your pink and pleasant plastic icon, _ _ you'll get a genuine, stimulated, pink _ plastic baby Jesus television light for your television [Bm] set with a halo that glows and rotates, easing [G] eye strain [Em] and bringing in better reception. [A] And friends, [D] _ no CODs, please. And friends, if you do [C] send in for this, this week, _ without [D] fail, and put in 50 cents extra for stamps, hallelujah, friends, you'll receive every day next week a different, a different member of the Holy Family _ [A] with a halo that glows and [D] rotates a television light antenna. _ Imagine, friends, the envy of [E] your neighbors when they come in [C] to [C] watch Midge Miller at your house and they [D] see the entire Holy Family sitting on top of your television set _ with their halos glowing and rotating, easing eye strain and bringing in better reception. Friends and neighbors, hallelujah, what better place for a family altar than the top of your television set? _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
