(pick the 1st verse)

I bought a gerbil at the petting zoo
A          G               D     C
If Richard Gere can do it, I can too.
A       G             D        C 
I get undressed and I start to lube
A           G             D          C
I stick the gerbil in the end of the tube.

(strum the pre-chorus)
D              A  
Wondering just how he'll feel
D                               A 
will he like it better than his little wheel
D                A 
careful now he's right beside me
D                 A 
one more inch and he's inside me

the situation is beyond my control

suddenly he's very very still

Now it's too late my gerbil died
A             G          D    C 
I guess I have committed gerbacide

A               G       D                         A  G D(now strum verse chords)
if you love your gerbil...don't stick him up your butt
C                       A    
don't stick him up your butt
little fury gerbil in your booty hole
don't stick him up your booma whomma wam
