  			G 
John Rocker, your proctologist called, 
                     C 
They just found your head 
            D 
You've been awarded the Golden Rubber Glove, 
                         G 
For that stupid crap you said 
 
You've got the loudest mouth in baseball, 
                      C 
Nobody could shut you up 
      D 
So in New York, even in your street clothes,  
                           G 
You probably oughta wear a cup 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
C 
John, your off your rocker 
      G(quick strum) 
Better.. clean out that locker 
      G                              D 
Or go out and throw about 22 perfect games 
            C 
Son, you've clinched a spot  
 
Next to Marge Schotte 
                       G 
In the Dipshit Hall Of Fame 
 
 
     G 
John Rocker, Detective Furhman called 
                 C 
He knows how you feel 
      D 
And I bet you Congressman David Duke 
                              G 
Would probably help with your appeal 
 
Maybe you won't get suspended 
                       C 
Or have to pay that 20 grand 
    D 
But if you can't close for the Braves right now, 
                              G 
You can start for the Ku Klux Klan 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
C 
John, you're off your rocker 
      G(quick strum) 
Thank God you don't play soccer 
            G                                    D 
Cause you'd probably get killed in a riot in the stands 
             C                    G 
If you do an interview again, Ted said he's bringin' in 
  D                             G 
A gay right handed pitcher from Japan.... (preferrably mute)
