[Same Chords throughout song]
God knows I tried a half a year
But it didn't do no good.
My damnedest try to make it work,
I knew it never would.
Now there's nothin' wrong with you,
And there's nothing you could ever do.
God knows I tried a half a year
But it didn't do no good.
The times were good,
But over now,
A pleasant memory.
I'm sorry, there's another face
One that's close to me.
You know 'bout what I learned
And there's no stone left unturned.
The times were good,
But over now,
A pleasant memory. (sigh)
[Stops]
EDon't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
BSaid the momma to her son
EWipe the butt clean with the paper
AMake it nice for everyone
EBut don't sit down on the BPlexiglas toilet yEeahB  
[Same Chords for rest]
A boy of 5 stands close to the toilet
Holds the lid up with one hand
Won't let go the lid for fear that
On his banana it will land
Don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah
Boy goes up he eats the enchilada
With the sauce that burns the heart
Family comes to visit family
Momma says don't belch and fart
Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah
Everybody Sing!
Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah
Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah
Fun Song.

God knows I tried a half a year

But it didn't do no good.

My damnedest try to make it work,

I knew it never would.

Now there's nothin' wrong with you,

And there's nothing you could ever do.

God knows I tried a half a year

But it didn't do no good.

But over now,

A pleasant memory.

I'm sorry, there's another face

You know 'bout what I learned

And there's no stone left unturned.

The times were good,

But over now,

A pleasant memory. (sigh)
