Chorus:
Em            Em/D          Em/C
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
    Em/B             Am             Am           B
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again
Em             Em/D       Em/C
Girl! Put that cat in the bin
       Em/B    Am            Am       B
After what he said, after everything he did

Verse 1:
Em
You had him figured out a while ago
Em
And I know it's not exactly breaking news
Em
But it's all been a little like a trial for you
       B
And a bunch more talking won't make him true

Chorus:
Ah, c'mon,
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out tell him not to come back again
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the crooked straight Get the go-getter good and gone

Fill: Em -------- End on B)

Verse 2:
Why? It's so plain that he's just makin' it up
And he's still got you coming back for more
Why you never ever think of breaking it up
B
Tell me, what bad deal's gonna close that door?

Chorus:
Ah, c'mon, 
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the crooked straight
Get the go-getter good and gone

I'm not saying all the boys are the same
 F         C             F               G
But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now
G         F              C           G
I'm not saying all the boys are the same

Chorus:
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again
Girl! Put that cat in the bin
After what he said, after everything he did
