Intro:

D A Bb G x2


Verse 1:

(G) D A
If you wanna write a pop song
Bb G D A Bb G
you gotta use the right vocabulary,
D A
Words and grammar that in real life
Bb G D A Bb G
would make you sound dumb or scary,
D A Bb G
Like calling people baby who aren't actually baby's
D A
saying I would die for you
Bb G
which in real life just sounds crazy
D A Bb G D
but crazy is a good thing to be in a pop song anyway...
A Bb G
(Crazy, Crazy, Crazy)


Verse 2:

D A Bb G D A Bb G
Sometimes you just gotta pull out the double negatives,
D A Bb G D A Bb G
Cos there ain't no way you're not going to do nothing like that, no no no,
D A Bb G
And you gotta go ugh, sometimes you gotta ugh,
D A Bb G
gotta ugh, gotta ugh, gotta uh uh uhhh,
D A Bb G D A
cos your only really killing time for the chorus anyway,
Bb G
here it comes!

Chorus:
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, baby baby baby baby
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G
baby-o, baby-o, baby-ohhhhh

Verse 3:
D A
Now you're on the third verse
Bb G D A Bb G
but no-one's listening to anything you say,
D A
which is mission accomplished
Bb G D A Bb G
because you don't have anything to say anyway,
D A
and its a prime time for rhyme time
Bb G
cos lime crimes are rhyme glimes,
D A Bb G
you might find mime slime grime on your behind,
D A Bb G D A
and i'm only just killing time for the chorus again anyway,
Bb G
let me hear you now!

Chorus:
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, baby baby baby baby
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G...
baby-o, baby-o, baby-ohhhhh....

Rap:
N.C D A
Suddenly the rap parts here its kinda weird
Bb G (stop)
no one end up loving it just appeared (you can guess the lyrics yourself)
D A Bb G
Coming in late, its attacking you like a rhythmic dance ex-machina
D A
but you know what i'm kind of a jerk
Bb G
so now i'm going to make you work,
D A
say ayyyy (ayyyy)
Bb G
say eeeee (eeeee)
D A
iou (iou)
Bb G
sometimes 1 (sometimes 1)
D A
stop repeating what I say (stop repeating what I say)
Bb G
stop repeating what I say (stop repeating what I say)
N.C
(stop repeating what I say)

Chorus:
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, baby baby baby baby
D A Bb G
Ooh, Ahh, Baby, Yeah, uh oh ohhhh
D A Bb G
baby-o, baby-o, baby-o, baby-o
D A Bb G
baby-o, baby-o, baby-o, baby-o
D A Bb G
baby-o, baby-o, baby-o, baby-o
D A Bb G
baby-o, baby-o, baby-o, baby-o
D D(once)
baby-ohhhhhhhh


There we go, if anyone does happen to know the words in that second line of the rap feel free to comment or
or correct it yourself.
Its always a good laugh at any open mic night or with friends over.
-Dougie
