I look like a loser, coming from the gutter
             Dm7      G7           Dm7      G7
Want to be a writer, and be a keen reader
             Dm7      G7           Dm7      G7
Listen to my opera, now I'm a good listener
               Dm7      G7          Dm7      G7
Got to make my mind up, so go around later


Dm7


Hey, hey, hey!

Dm7  G7                Dm7      G7
             I'm a red rooster
            Dm7    G7           Dm7      G7
A real cold killer, a real live wire

(yeah!)

Minor complications, turn to ultimatums
                   Dm7   G7                   Dm7      G7
At first I find it funny, but now it's just annoying
            Dm7     G7                   Dm7      G7
I dingalingaling her, but that's another story
              Dm7 G7               Dm7      G7
Sitting on my sofa, I'll go around later
