Callin' In Sick
"Weird Al" Yankovic
====================
(subtle bass and guitar with minimal drums [ie. closed hi-hat])
E C G A C B
Hit my snooze alarm for the 27th time
E C G A C B
Just don't feel like going to work - I think I'll call my boss then I'm
A B C D A
Gonna hack and cough and wheeze
B C D
Swear I've got some strange disease
A B C D
What's that little twerp gonna say? Hey...
(Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar)
E C C G A
I'm callin' in sick today
E C C G A
Callin' in sick today
I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp"
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my Tupperware
I'm not busy now anyway. Hey..........
(Chorus)
E C C G A
I'm callin' in sick today
E C C G A
Callin' in sick today
E C C G A
Ain't going to work, no way
E C C G A G
Callin' in sick today
(Bridge) - (same as chorus)
B A B A
I can do anything I want to
B A B A
I am invincible now
B A B A
I'm on fire, baby
B D
I'm alive, I'm alive, can you hear me, world?
E
I'm alive!
Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun and trying not to squint
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my bellybutton lint
When I'm sick of takin' abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away. Hey...
(Chorus)
E C C G A
I'm callin' in sick today
E C C G A
Callin' in sick today
E C C G A
Ain't going to work, no way
E C C G A G
Callin' in sick today
