[Verse 1]
I was Emyoung, just a skinny little son of a Bgun.
I craved adventure so I jumped into a Gcar. To follow a Bstar.
I didn't get Emfar. It was just a Bcar.
So I got Emdrunk, I stripped naked and turned cartwheels across the Bfloor.
But my lady couldn't take it anyGmore, GET OUT THE BDOOR!
There was Emthunder in my chunder as my Bfolks looked on in wonder
[Chorus]
All the Gstupid little Dthings that I have Gdone.
Well I Gdid 'em, I Ddid 'em just for Emfun, fun, Cfun.
But all the Gstupid little Bmthings that we all Emdo.        C(woo-hoo)
Little Gthings that make us Dlaugh and cry, Gkiss my ass and Brun, run, run.
[Intro Riff]
Em   Em   Em   B
[Verse 2]
I got Emhigh, one night I broke into the local bowling Bgreen.
I could have sworn it was a giant trampoGline, how obBscene.
Like bowling Emgreens, love trampoBlines.
I fell in Emlove. With this pretty little pretty little Bgirl.
'Cause her sister was a woman of the Gworld. Ah what a Bgirl.
I got a Emblister on my mister but I Bswear I didn't kiss her.
[Chorus]
All the Gstupid little Dthings that I have Gdone.
Well I Gdid 'em, I Ddid 'em just for Emfun, fun, Cfun.
But all the Gstupid little Bmthings that we all Emdo.        C(woo-hoo)
So many Gthings that make us Dlaugh and cry, Gwhip my ass and Brun, run, run.

EmWell here I am again, down on upon my knees,
EmHoping that Jesus Christ will come and save my sorry little ass, one more time.

[Chorus]
Don't gGive up on your Dstupid little Gdreams.
Don’t give Gup, don’t give Dup on all your Emstupid little Cdreams.
'Cos all those Gstupid little Bmdreams and Emschemes,C  
Make you Glive and die, and Dwonder why, and Gtry and try and Bmlaugh and
All the Gstupid little Dthings that we have Gdone.C  
But no Gregrets no Dregrets no Emnot a single Cone.
But all the Gstupid little Bmthings that we all Emdo.C  
So many Gthings that make us Dlaugh and cry, Gkiss my ass and Brun, run, run.
