Well I was (G)sittin' in the tub just a countin' my toes 
When the (C)radiator broke and the water froze 
Got (G)stuck in the ice without any clothes 
Naked as the eyes of a (D)clown 

I was (G)cryin', "Ice cubes", hopin' that I'd croak 
When the (C)sun came through the window and the ice all broke 
I said (G)son of a gun man that's just a joke 
And that's the (D)way that the world goes (G)'round
