A D A
When the sun goes down (sun goes down)
A D A
And the bats are back to bed

The brothers come 'round

I get out of my dirty bed
A D A
I shake my pretty little head
A D
Tap my pretty little feet
F#dim
Feeling brighter than sunlight
Adim
Louder than thunder
Bdim Ebdim
Bouncing like a yo-yo
A D A
Don't got no problems (no problems)
A D A
Ain't got no suitcase
A D A
Ain't got no clothes to worry about
A D A
Ain't got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up
A D A
I just throw in my hand
A D
With the chilliest bunch in the land
F#dim
They don't look much
Adim
They sure chilly chilly

They positively glow, glow

With the mackin' sex appealin'

So when things get too tough

And even down looks up
