Verse 1
When I was 1E6 I started this band
I played fast guitar, I'd tap with both my hAands
We called ourselves the 'The CC#mools'
It wasn't a good nBame but neither was our bandE  
And I wrote songs for JEen, Jen was my girlfriend
She said my songs were fun, I asked her a questAion, 
'Will you come to our first sC#mhow?, 
The Cools go on at 1B0, right after Grand: pEm'
She said that she wAmaj7ould, she would if not for Eone, one thing she'd never C#mdone
She'd never seen her favorite bAand
By chance they were in Amaj7town the same night as The C#mCools
                                             AN.C.            E  
I said "Don't you like us, Jen?", she said "Yes, but I love them"
So I cut class that dEay and I did something low
I took Jen's locker key up to the second flAoor
I tore her tickets up and C#mlied and I hugged her when she crBied
     N.C.                E  
And she came to our show
Chorus
We were the grEeatest band that had Aever lived
We made a sEacred fan out of Aevery kid
We had this fC#mlag above our drG#mum kAit and iG#mt, it rAead: 'The CEools'
Oh no oh noC#m, this can't be soB7, we're in 'The Cools'E  
Verse 2
Friday at the shEow Mugshot played "The Brews"
Grand: pm was good but their singer didn't moveA  
And then this lady C#msaid into the microphBone "Please welcome The CoEols!"
I said "Jen what did you tAmaj7hink?" 
She said that it was goEod except one thing I hadn't C#mdone
I didn't dedicate her sAong
Well I said "Come on Amaj7Jen! It was the best show in the C#mworld"
She said "3 out of 1A0" and she went home with Grand: pEm
Chorus
We were the grEeatest band that had Aever lived
We made a sEacred fan out of Aevery kid
We had this fC#mlag above our drG#mum kAit and iG#mt, it rAead: 'The CEools'
