Standard (EADGBE)

They say a good book will rot your brains

Wait a minute

Oh yeah, I forgot, that’s television and video games.

They say that ice cream and cake will make me grow up so big and strong…Wait a minute

Oh yeah, I should eat fruits and vegetables all day long

I am so clearly confused

But when I get like this

There’s a snappy jingle that I like to use

Eat your books and read your vegetables

Take my advice if you wanna be respectable

Pick your nose and never do your chores

Wait a minute now there’s a little bit more

Study really hard for your video games

And call your little brother all kinds of names…oh that’s not right

They say I should stay inside and never go out to play…Wait a minute

If I stay inside all day, my muscles will waste away

They say I should I pick on my friends as often as I can…Wait a minute

If I pick on my friends they’ll probably leave and not come back again

I am so clearly confused

But when I get like this

There’s a snappy jingle that I like to use

Eat your books and read your vegetables

Take my advice if you wanna be respectable

Pick your nose and never do your chores

Wait a minute now there’s a little bit more

Study really hard for your video games

And call your little brother all kinds of names…oh that’s not right

Oh no, I really made a mess of things this time…Wait a minute

If I concentrate I know all words will just fall in line

I’ll just say everything I know and I’m sure it’ll turn out fine...that’s the ticket

Everybody can help out, we’re all gonna count down from 9

8, 7, 6, 5

4, 3, 2, 1

Read your books and eat your vegetables

Take my advice if you wanna be respectable

Do your chores and never pick your nose

Yeah, I got it now. I know that’s how it goes

Study really hard cuz school’s not a game

And never call your brother any kinda of names…[amazed] I think I got it that time

[Key change down a full step to the key of G]

Read your books and eat your vegetables

Take my advice if you wanna be respectable

Do your chores and never pick your nose

Yeah, I got it now. I know that’s how it goes

Study really hard cuz school’s not a game

And never call your brother any kinda of names

[65]

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh oh
