    C                F             C              F 
You worry 'bout your hair, and the way the people stare

You wonder what tonight will bring 
       C              G           Am           F 
You're headed for the bar in your kooky little car

And you're gonna have to shake that thing

    C                F               C            F 
You worry 'bout your clothes and the hole in your nose 
    C                F        C 
And maybe you should lose the ring 
           C          G            Am               F 
But at the end of the day it don't matter what they say

It's a whole lifestyle thing

There's no quick fix and there ain't no bag of tricks 
    C            F       C 
You gotta have a song to sing 
       C          G            Am               F 
At the end of the day it don't matter what they say

It's a whole lifestyle thing

On a whole lifestyle thing

   C               F              C             F 
So don't go by the book, it don't matter if you look 
     C                  F           C 
Like something that the cat brought in 
     C                  G         Am           F 
Just say, "I yam what I yam and I don't give a damn" 
       G               C 
It's a whole lifestyle thing 
     C                  G         Am           F 
Just say, "I yam what I yam and I don't give a damn" 
       G               C 
It's a whole lifestyle thing
