Verse 1:
E5
Like a Big Woolly Mammoth
You gotta wear that coat
Like his big brother Joseph
Yeah, walkin' in the desert sand
Like a doughboy in the trenches
You gotta lay down low
Like a Big Woolly Mammoth
You gotta wear that coat

Chorus:
E5                                 A5
You ain't got time to worry 'bout mass extinction
E5                               A5
Just try and get along with the human beings
E5                       C5
Big Wooly Mammoth gonna wear that coat
                           B5
In the middle of the summertime

Bridge:

Verse 2:
You got a woman in the city
She got a brand new coat
Sometimes I feel like an evolutionary reject
Yeah, livin' in a high-tech world
Like a cool armadillo
You gotta lay down low
Like the Big Woolly Mammoth
You gotta wear that coat

(Chorus)

Jam over A

(JB transition riff)

Verse 3:
Another ice age is comin'
You better wear your coat
Somebody throw me a fire
So we can burn this city down
Like a doughboy in the trenches
You gotta lay down low
Like the Big Woolly Mammoth
You gotta wear that coat

Last Chorus:
Everybody needs some weapons of mass destruction
Gonna kill you with a virus and a dose of radiation
Like a Big Wooly Mammoth gonna wear that coat
In the middle of the summertime

Jam over A
