Verse 1:
E
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:
E                                 A
You ain't got time to worry 'bout mass extinction
E                               A
Just try and get along with the human beings
E                       C
Big Wooly Mammoth gonna wear that coat
                           B
In the middle of the summertime

Bridge:
Small jam over an A chord with a A>G>F#>F>E for 4 measures

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
