sing. Here we go.

Once   there was this kid who

Took a trip to Singapore and brought along his spray paint

Swore that one day she would be a figure-skating champion

She saw some other girl who was better

They sold their TV movie rights

Made his wife so mad one night that she cut off his weiner
    F  C               G    C
And when    he finally came to
