[C A# F C] x4

[Verse]:
As long as you don't have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won't be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won't tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see

[Chorus]:
There's something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There's a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don't be a baby -- there's a Pete Brady inside of you

[C A# F C] x4 (with "Inside of you"s)

Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars.  (This is the "Boy, I really
learned a lot today" part.)
