verse 1
E
Standin' on the corner
E
Not doin' nothin' to no one
E
When a squad car stops
E
And out jump cops
E7
You one of them, if I ever saw one
A
Wonder what I said
A
As my face turned red
A7
Up against the wall, says the tall one
E
That's a cute mustache
E
Have ya got any hash?
E7
I'd like to make a buy, says the small one
A
Now da whole thing's silly
A
But I'm starin' at the billy
A7
Quietly askin' myself now will he
E
Use that thing
E
To make my eardrums ring
E7
It's all a bad dream
E7
And I'm in South Philly
E
Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
verse 2
E
Me and Mr. Hohner
E
In Yuma, Arizona
E
Tryin' to hitch a ride to Denver
E
Well, out of a toll
E
Comes the highway patrol
E7
To check up on my gender
A
Is it her or him
A
Or maybe Tiny Tim?
A7
Now up against the fence, says the dense one
E
You have picked a bad spot
E
To smoke your pot
E7
Whatcha gonna do two against one?
A
Now da whole thing's silly
A
But I'm starin' at the billy
A7
Quietly askin' myself now will he
E
Use that thing
E
To make my eardrums ring
E7
It's all a bad dream
E7
And I'm in South Philly
E
Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
verse 3
E
Me and Mr. Hohner
E
Relaxin' out at Kona
E
Hawaiian sun can be groovy
E
When a pair of MPs
E
Yell out, freeze!
E7
And I think I gotta part in a movie
A
Hey! I'm talkin' to you
A
Tell me what did I do?
A7
You're a draft card burner, says the thin one
E
We can tell by your looks
E
That you read too many books of wars
E7
And that's because ya ain't been in one
A
Now the whole thing's silly
A
But I'm starin' at the billy
A7
Quietly askin' myself now will he
E
Use that thing
E
To make my eardrums ring
E7
It's all a bad dream
E7
And I'm in South Philly
E
Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
