NOTE: There are 14 different chords in this song; chord diagram at the bottom.
Intro:
(4)
Chorus:
I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailorâs legs and a license to fly
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
That walk up my long board and hang off the nose
Verse 1:
I suppose
The need to focus never arose
So something like a Swiss army knife
Thatâs my life
Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine
(b5)
The villagers still flockinâ to see, to see me
Breaking free, breaking free
Chorus 2:
Cause I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailorâs legs and a license to fly
I got a bartenderâs ear and beachcomberâs style
Piratical nerve and a Vaudevillian style
Link:
I Oo
I yi yi yi yi yi
Verse 2:
I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck
With all hands spread all over the deck
What the heck
Then some kind of obscene and unscrupulous mind
Began to pick up what he could find
Added ice, shook me twice, Added Ice, rolled the dice
Chorus 3:
Now I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
A sailorâs legs and a license to fly
I got a native tongue from way down south
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth
Chorus:
I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailorâs legs and a license to fly
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose
Outro:
I Oo
I yi yi yi yi yi
