Gerbil
by Stephen Lynch
(pick the 1st verse)
[A]I bought a [G]gerbil at the [D]petting [C]zoo
[A]If Richard [G]Gere can do it, [D]I can [C]too.
[A]I get un[G]dressed and I [D]start to [C]lube
[A]I stick the [G]gerbil in the [D]end of the [C]tube.
(strum the pre-chorus)
[Bb]Wondering just [A]how he'll feel
will he [Bb]like it better than his [A]little wheel
[Bb]careful now he's [A]right beside me
[Bb]one more inch and [C]he's inside me
[D]GO![F]!! [D] [F]Gerbil [D]go! [F][D][F]
(1st Chorus)
[D]Burrow [F]harder, [D]burrow [F]deeper
[D]be my [F]little [D]chimney [F]sweeper
[D]one thing [F]I for[D]got [F]about
C N/C
how am I supposed to get you out
(back to picking the verse)
so [A]now my [G]gerbils on [D]easy [C]street
[A]it's warm and [G]cozy and there's [D]plenty to [C]eat
[A]the situat[G]ion is [D]beyond my [C]control
[A]gotta find a [G]way to get him[D] out of his [C]hole.
(sturm pre-chorus)
[Bb]I tried crowbars [A]I tried wires
[Bb]I almost got him with a [A]pair of pliers
[Bb]I tried cheese but [A]he's not biting
[Bb]I wish this wasn't [A]so exciting
[D]Go![F]!! [D] Ge[F]rbil Go[D]!!![F][D][F]

C N/C
suddenly he's very very still
(back to picking verse)
[A]Now it's too [G]late my [D]gerbil [C]died
[A]I guess I have[G] committed [D]gerba[C]cide
[A]here's some [G]advice [D]it's very clear [C]cut
A G D (no C) A
if you love your gerbil...don't stick him up your butt
(Continue strumming verse chords)
don't stick him up your butt
little furry 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)
