Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

 It's been one week since we got to see

 Cheatin' lovers and cousins that marry

Five days since they had the show

 With the hermaphrodite, the slut, and the crack ho

Three days since we heard the tale

 About the guy who learned his woman was a she-male

Yesterday it occurred to me

 That I've been watchin' a bit too much Jerry Springer

Verse 1

Holy cow, d'you see it last week?

 Well, they had this one freak

 Who sucker-punched his whole family

Do you recall when the brawl

 Became a total free-for-all

 And Jerry's in the middle tryin' to be the referee

Hey, see the stripper with the implants

 She likes to lap dance

 And date the boyfriend of her mother

Now here come's Jerry's next guest

 And it's a slugfest

 'Cause it's her trailer trash brother

Nymphomaniac is back on crack

 It's like "When Animals Attack"

 They all exhibit reprehensible behavior

Hit 'em in the nose, tear off their clothes

 Step on their toes, that's how it goes

 They get so violent they have to sign a waiver

Bridge 1

They're always swearin', cursin', kickin' butt, and pointin' blame

On the air? They don't care, they've got no shame

There was one guy who I'm sure felt a little strange

When he found out that his wife had a sex change

They have a tendency to scream and yell constantly

They have a history of ripping off their shirts

Chorus

It's been one week since they had the fight

With the Siamese twins and the transvestite

Five days since that awful brawl

They still haven't got the blood off the wall

It's been three days since the bitter fued

Between the KKK and that gay Jewish black dude

Yesterday, finally dawned on me

I'm spendin' way too much time on that Jerry Springer

Interlude

[Guy] Baby, I've been sleepin' with your sister

[Gal] Oh? Well, which one?

[Guy] All of them

[Gal Oh! Well, I've been sleepin' with your best friend Jake!

[Guy] Yah? Well, well me too!

[Gal] Oh!

[Guy] And I've sleepin' with your dog Woofie!

(barking)

[Gal] Woofie, you b-tch!

[Gal] Well, I'm also sleepin' with your pet goat!

(baaahhing)

[Guy] That goat doesn't love to you!

Verse 2

Once you start watchin', there's just no stoppin'

Your brain shuts down, then your IQ's droppin'

Jerry's the king of confrontation

He's a sensation

He puts the 'sin' in syndication

It's totally worthless, like a bad check

It's like a train wreck

Don't wanna stare but you can't look away

Like Sally Jesse he does talk shows

But with more weirdos

The ratings jumpin' higher everyday

If you've seen the show, well then you know

It's just as low as you can go

The guests are tacky and they're lacking in their hygiene

And pretty soon some ugly goon

Comes in the room and then it's BOOM

In the face of some unsuspecting drag queen

Bridge 2

Well it's the kind of show where people scream obscenities

Yankin' hair, throwin' chairs at their hubbies

"Jerry! Jerry!" Now the crowd starts their favorite chant

Should I turn off my TV? I just can't

I have a tendency to watch it religiously

I have a history of taping each one

Chorus

It's been one week since the show about

Psycho killers with problems they should work out

Five days since the big surprise

When some loser's wife said she's shtill dating twenty guys

Three days wince he interviewed

A bunch of psychic porn star midgets who were all nude

Yesterday, it occurred to me

That I've been watchin' a bit too much Jerry Springer

Tired of wastin' my time on that Jerry Springer

I've got way too much class to watch Jerry Springer

Come over here and pull on my finger
