new kids on the block — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

From: Elizabeth B. Myers
Subject: chords:New Kid On the Block by Barenaked Ladies

This is a funny and fun song by what is becoming my favorite band the
more I listen to them. The basic structure of the song is verses
alternating between Em and C major, and the chorus following a G-Am-F
progression. I`m probably way off on some of the lyrics, but hopefully
you get the idea.


Em C
I didn`t ask to be famous
Em C
But I`m not sore
Em C Em C
You can see my face in the window of every store
Em C
You can buy my lunch box
Em C
You can wear my clothes
Em C Em C
You can see my name its as plain as the face under your nose

CHORUS:
G Am F
I`m a new kid on the block
G Am F
Well I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
G Am F
And we may not write the songs we sing
G Am F
But look at Elvis he sold his soul and you crowned him king

EM C
I DIDNT ASK TO BE FAMOUS
EM C
BUT IM NOT SAD
EM
YA SEE IVE GOT EVERYTHING THAT I ALWAYS WISHED I HAD

IN FACT ME MIND IS TIRED

IM TIRED OF SCREAMING GIRLS

I THANK MY HAIRDRESSER FOR

GIVING ME SUCH BEAUTIFUL CURLS

NOW IM A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

WELL IM 23 AND THEY WONT LET ME GROW UP

I WENT DOWN TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT

WELL I GOT UP TO THE COUNTER AND

THE LADY THERE JUST LAUGHED

CHORUS:

SHE SAID YOUR A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

YOUNG GIRLS AND OLD BOYS MOCK

WELL YOU BROKE MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTERS HEART

WELL I KNEW YOU KIDS WERE TROUBLE FROM THE START

I DIDN`T ASK TO BE FAMOUS,BUT I`M NOT SURE

THAT WERE AS APPLE PIE AS YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT WE WERE

I CAN STAY UP ALL NIGHT,I CAN HAVE A BLAST

I CAN BREAKDANCE,I CAN FIGHT,I CAN KICK YOUR SORRY ASS

I`M A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

AND THOUGH I MAY NOT BE JOHANN SEBASTION BACH

THERES NO NEED TO BE AFRAID OF US

THOUGH IT JUST MIGHT BE YOUR DAUGHTER ON OUR BUS
