Joe Camel was a friend of mine He had a fine line in seduction
|
A A/C A G
|
But the monkeys pulled Joe off the billboard sign Somewhere near Clapham Junction
|
A A/C A A/G G
|
Now all the little children had no pied piper There was no one left to follow
|
A A/C A A/G E
|
So they all lived together in a white bread world What a bitter pill to swallow
|
|
CHORUS #1
|
A G A G
|
It was Bubblegum Cancer so sweet so rotten
|
A G A G
|
Bubblegum Cancer No fruit on the bottom yeah oh yeah
|
|
The Luncheon Meat Kid had a real fine life He was fat and sweaty and tricky
|
Gorgonzola became his wife She was strong and green and sticky
|
And they lived in a house made of garlic mash On the crest of a styrofoam wave
|
Every weekend they'd take out the trash Jane Fonda with a tomahawk Rooting for the Braves
|
|
like
|
|
CHORUS #2
|
|
Bubble gum Cancer so pink so black
|
Bubblegum Cancer big stink under the shrink wrap. Yeah. (to E)
|
|
|
Barney Google was acting cool But his eyes gave him away
|
He was two dimensional and no ones fool He was flat and made of clay
|
And he lived in a land made of ink and pulp Between the two world wars
|
And his eyes puffed out Like ping pong balls. Yeah.
|
|
CHORUS #3
|
|
Bubblegum Cancer so faux so real
|
Bubblegum Cancer so phony you can't feel it
|
|
CHORUS #2 REPEAT
