Verse 1:

C
 No one likes us,
  Caug
I don't know why,
   E7
We may not be perfect,
     A7
But heaven knows we try.
    Fmaj7
And all around us,
         Fm6
Even our old friends put us down,
      C
Let's drop the big one;
G7#5      G13
 See what happens.

Verse 2:

   C
We give them money,
             Caug
But are they grateful?
E7
 No their spiteful,
A7
 And their hateful;
     Fmaj7
They don't respect us,
   Fm6
So let's suprise them;
      C
We'll drop the big one;
G7#5   G13
 Pulve-rize them.

Verse 3:

C
 Asia's crowded,
Caug
 Europe's too old,
E7
 Africa is far to hot,
    A7
And Canada's too cold,
    Fmaj7
And South America,
Fm6
 Stole our name,
      C
Let's drop the big one;
           G7#5
They'll be no one,
        G13
Left to blame us.

Bridge 1:

F               C
 We'll save Aus-tralia,
F
 Don't want to hurt,
         C
No kanga-roo,
F
 We'll build an all American,
  C
A-musement park there;
G7
 They got surfing too.

Verse 3:

C
 Boom! goes London,
Caug
 Boom! Pa-reee,
E7
 More room for you,
    A7
And more room for me.
    Fmaj7
And every city,
    Fm6
The whole world 'round;
     C
Will just be another,
  A7
A-merican town.
       F
Oh how peaceful it will be,
      G7
We'll set everybody free,
             E7
They'll be a Japanese Kimono for you,
             A7
They'll be I-talian shoes for me.

Coda:

         F           C
They all hate us any-how,
         D        F       C
So let's drop the big one now.
      D        F       C
Let's drop the big one now.
