Gerbil Tab

by Stephen Lynch


I want to have Stephen Lynch's kids!  That's all there is to it!

okay, gerbil!  probably worse than "Lullaby" but hey it's Lynch.

(pick the 1st verse)
                               
I bought a gerbil at the petting zoo
                              
If Richard Gere can do it, I can too.
                             
I get undressed and I start to lube
                                  
I stick the gerbil in the end of the tube.

(strum the pre-chorus)
                
Wondering just how he'll feel
                                
will he like it better than his little wheel
                 
careful now he's right beside me
                  
one more inch and he's inside me
                     
GO!!!    Gerbil go! 

(1st Chorus)
                   
Burrow harder, burrow deeper
                   
be my little chimney sweeper
                
one thing I forgot about
                N/C
how am I supposed to get you out

(back to picking the verse)
                        
so now my gerbils won easy street
                                      
it's warm and cozy and there's plenty to eat
                         
the situation is beyond my control
                                    
gotta find a way to get him out of his hole.

(sturm pre-chorus)
                 
I tried crowbars I tried wires
                        
I almost hurt'em with a pair of pliers
                   
I tried cheese but he's not biting
                   
I wish this wasn't so exciting
                     
Go!!!  Gerbil Go!!!

(2nd Chorus) 
                 
Jesus, I am such a sucker
                      
Please get out you fury fuuuahhh!
                   
I think I am getting ill
              N/C
suddenly he's very very still

(back to picking verse)
                         
Now it's too late my gerbil died
                            
I guess I have committed gerbacide
                                 
here's some advice it's very clear cut
                                                  (now strum verse chords)
if you love your gerbil...don't stick him up your butt
                           
don't stick him up your butt
little fury gerbil in your booty hole
don't stick him up your booma whomma wam 
(start babbling to the music,
kind of a scat like singing) (Ha! Scat...um...nevermind)
Yeah!

(end on chord A)
