EmTurns out that I'm Dcrooked Gtoo
[Instrumental]

I read a Emcrooked headline on a Ccrooked Gpage
There's a Emcrooked leader on a Ccrooked Gstage
But he sEmeems to think he's Cstandin' Gtall
EmTurns out it's all Dcrooked, Gy'all

So when you Emstand before that Csetting Gsun
And the Emneedle's broken and the Crecord's Gspun
You'll hear a Emstampede from a Ccattle Gcall
EmTurns out it's all Dcrooked, Gy'all
Oh, it Emturns out it's all Dcrooked, Gy'all
