Intro: Fm/C – Fm (2x)
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
I had a dream- crispy, crispy Ben-jamin Franklin
Db7Fm/BbFm
Came o-ver and baby-sat all four of my kids
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
Then in my dream, I told the doctor off
DbBbmFm
He said, “If you don’t want to do it, then you don’t have to do it”
DbBbmFm
He said “The truth is, you’ll be okay anyway”
Fm/CFm/BbFm/GbDb
Then, in my dream, crispy, crispy Ben- jamin Franklin and the doctor
BbmFm
Went and had a talk with my boss
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
Something about insurance policies
DbBbm
They kept the door closed at all times
Fm
I couldn’t hear or see
DbBbmFm
When they came out, they said “You’ll be okay anyway”
DbBbmFm
And I smiled ‘cause I’d known it all the while
Ab7Db
No thank you, no thank you, no thank you, no thank you
Gb9Bbm7
I ain’t about to pay for this shit
Ab7Db
I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo
Gb9Bbm7
And on any given day, I’d rather ride a limousine
Ab7Db
No thank you, no thank you, no thank you, no thank you
Gb9Bbm7
I ain’t about to die like this
Ab7Db
I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo
Gb9Bbm7
And besides, this shit is making me tired
Ab7Db
Is making me tired, is making me tired
Gb9Bbm7
You know I plan to retire someday
Ab7DbGb9Bbm7
But mama gonna go out in style, go out in style
Ab7Db
This shit is making me tired
Gb9Bbm7
Is making me tired, is making me tired
Ab7DbGb9Bbm7
Mama gonna go out in style, go out in style
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
When I woke up, the kids were being quiet
Db
I knew it was a dream
BbmFm
Right away I called the limousine company
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
Then I got dressed, I dressed the kids as well
DbBbmFm
The limousine pulled in and we piled in
Fm/CFm/BbFm/Gb
The driver, he asked which way we were headed
DbBbmFm
I said “Sir, let’s just go west” and he listened obediently
DbBbmFm
Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBCDbBbmFm
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
DbBbmFm
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea
Looking out of the window
DbBbmFm
And Barbara, she looks just like my mom
DbBbmFm
Oh my Barbara, she looks so much like my mom
Ab7Db
No thank you, no thank you, no thank you, no thank you
Gb9Bbm7
I ain’t about to pay for this shit
Ab7Db
I can afford chemo like I can afford a limo
