[B] Get up, now come on and dog it.
Yeah, I got a dog, lives up in a tree.
[G#] Craziest dog that [D#] you'll ever [B] see.
And he's long and lean, he's got spots on his knee.
And I don't know what, so I call John Scott.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, John Scott.
He's at the, sizzling Memphis, John [E] Scott.
[B] Sizzling Memphis, John Scott.
Come on now, [E] come on John, come [B] on John, come [F#] on John.
This is [G] Memphis, [B] John Scott.
[Em] Yeah, [F#] uh-huh.
[E] [B] [E] Now John Scott [B] was a mountain man.
Grew [Em] down from the hill with a [B] radio in his hand.
Saying, I [F#] know the records, [Em] I got the one.
This is [F#] John Scott, [N] this is the number [E] one.
[B] John Scott.
Then all of a sudden John began to dance across the hills of Hollywood.
Shaking and [N] screaming and rolling and turning back flips.
And they rented every bowling alley they saw and went to bowling like mad.
And everybody fell down and started flying in from everywhere.
Jumped on planes, jumped on oxcarts, jumped on old donkeys and rode into town.
Got off and went over [B] there and said, give me a bowling ball.
I got to bowl like John Scott can.
Nobody can bowl like John Scott can.
He got the bowling party.
He got the wildest thing.
Nobody can [F#] like John Scott [B] can.
Now this is Tom Petty and I had a strange experience one morning with a monkey.
What got loose somewhere in southern Bernardina.
And crossed them hills and climbed into my backyard.
And I didn't know what to do.
I said, oh my God, I said, oh what is what?
I said, I better get on the phone and call John Scott.
There's John Scott.
Bye bye.
John.
Yeah, I got a dog, lives up in a tree.
[G#] Craziest dog that [D#] you'll ever [B] see.
And he's long and lean, he's got spots on his knee.
And I don't know what, so I call John Scott.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, John Scott.
He's at the, sizzling Memphis, John [E] Scott.
[B] Sizzling Memphis, John Scott.
Come on now, [E] come on John, come [B] on John, come [F#] on John.
This is [G] Memphis, [B] John Scott.
[Em] Yeah, [F#] uh-huh.
