VERSE 1: [play VERSE-RIFF]
--------
You know it's kinda hard just
to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he thinks it anyway
He may not have a clue and
he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial



[Here's what you play in the chorus, you'll have to figure
out how it goes with the lyrics by yourself. (not hard)]

CHORUS: [play the CHORUS-RIFF ]
-------
So don't debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees ah
Hey hey, do that brand new thing


BRIDGE: [play RIFF 1]
-------
Just play exactly like the intro,
only this time the girls are singing
at the same time as the guitar is playing.
Lyrics are:

Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)
Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)
Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)


VERSE 2: [play like verse 1, with VERSE-RIFF]
--------
He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruisin' in his Pinto
he sees homies as he passed
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass


CHORUS: [play like first chorus, with CHORUS-RIFF]
-------
So don't debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabees ah
Hey hey, do that brand new thing


VERSE 3: [see tab below]
--------
Now he's getting a tattoo yeah
He's getting ink done
He asked for a thirteen but they drew a thirty-one
Friends say he's trying to hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the, he's the dopest rip

Here are the lyrics:

So don't debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees
The world loves wannabees
Let's get some more wannabees
Hey hey, do that brand new thing.
