And wAbalk to the next stop in jeFmans and a vest top
With lEbast nights pizza that DbI'll eat the rest ofAb  
Friend of a friend, who I mFmet and I hatedEb  
Unfortunately he thoDbught he was amazingAb  
You and me minus yoFmur VIP
Means you gEbot a fatter wallet but we're Dbpretty much the same thingAb  
I'll admit that I coFmuld look fitter
I mEbight get jealous but I'll neDbver be a quitter
StuAbmble on your heels while i dFmo up my shoelace
