Chord Goon Squad by Elvis Costello

| Em | Em | Em | Em | Em D Em mother , father , i’m here in the zoo . D/F# Em D/A Em i can’t come home ’cause i’ve grown up too soon . Em D Em i got my sentence , i got my command . D/F# Em A they said they’d make me major if i met all their demands . G D/F# A i could be a corpral into corpral punishment , G D/F# A or the genral manager of a large establishment . chorus : G D/F# A they pat some good boys on the back and put some to the rod , Em D Em but i never thought they’d put me in the goon squad . C G D G they’ve come to look you over and they’re giving you the eye . Em D Em goon squad C G D G they want you to come out to play ; you’d better say goodbye . | Em | Em | Em | Em | some grow just like their dads and some grow up too tall . some go drinking with the lads . some don’t grow up at all . and you must find the proper place for everything you see . but you’ll never get to make a lampshade out of me . i could join a chain of males or be the missing link , looking for a lucky girl to put me in the pink . chorus mother , father , i’m doing so well . i’m making such progress now that you can hardly tell . i fit in a little dedication with one eye on the clock . they caught you under medication . you could be in for a shock . thinking up the alibis that everyone’s forgotten , just another mummy’s boy gone to rotten . chorus | Em | Em | Em | Em |
