Biography:
The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night
Same chords as previous verse- here are the lyrics
Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable
And I guess she would’ve given me an answer if only she was able
And she danced like a medicine man
Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me
She wanted to change my point of view
Asked me where I was going to
Em
G5 E5
But it’s alright, it’s alright
G5 B5
It’s alright, it’s alright
