 There's so many come to sDmee me G

 Who want their own tattCoo

 I fixed a needle in a hFolder

 Laid my hand upon your spCine

 And there upon your shDmoulder G

 I drew the picture as your sCign

 When I think abDmout us G

 They like to move my operFation

 They like to get me off the pCier

 And I dream I'm on a stDmeamer G

 Pullin' out of hCere
