Also, hit the bass note BEFORE strumming each (and every) chord.
It gives it that folky feel.
[G]If I was in the [G]fridge, [C9] would you[C9] open the door?
[G]If I was the gra[Em]ss, wou[Dsus]ld you mo[Dsus]w your lawn?
[G]If I was your b[G]ody, woul[C9]d you sti[C9]ll wear clothes?
[G]If I was a boog[Em]er, woul[Dsus]d you blow y[Dsus]our nose?
[C9]Would you keep it? [Dsus]Would you eat it?
I'm just [C9]tryin to give my[Asus]self a re[Em]ason[C9], for [Dsus]being a[G]round.
[G]If I was the front[G] porch swing would you [C9]let me hang[C9]?
[G]If I was the dance fl[Em]oor would you s[Dsus]hake your thin[Dsus]g?
[G]If I was a rubb[G]er check would you l[C9]et me bounce[C9]
[G]Up and d[Em]own inside your b[Dsus]ank account?[Dsus]
Would ya [C9]trust me, not to [Dsus]break you?
I'm just [C9]tryin really [Asus]hard to [Em]make you, [C9]notice me [Dsus]being a[G]round.
(Musical Interlude, no solo, just strum the G chord hard a few times with a
strange rhythm)
[G]If I was a [G]haircut would you [C9]wear a hat?[C9]
[G]If I was a [Em]maid, could I [Dsus]clean your fl[Dsus]at?
[G]If I was th[G]e carpet would ya [C9]wipe your fe[C9]et,
[G]In time to [Em]save me from [Dsus]mud off the s[Dsus]treet?
If you [C9]like me, if you [Dsus]love me, why don't you [C9]get down on your [Asus]knees
and [Em]scrub me?
I'm a little [Asus]grubby[Asus][C9]
From[Dsus] being ar[G]ound.
