EStanding by the jukebox, drinking a mojoto,
with Amy libido and bean burrito,
EI hate this bar, but I love the B7alcohol.
EBartender said I had too much,

Eyou're a bastard, can't you see,
Ayou keep on bugging me,
Eyour really getting on my B7nerves.
Ethese old blues they got to go,
Aand no one likes you don't you know,
EIm no saint, B7but i think you're a Ebastard.

EThis guy cuts the front of the checkout line,
I Aguess he really needed that box of wine,
Its E9am and he's already B7plastered.
ESo I leaned over and hit the intercom,
AI said "Ground Control to Major Tom,
EAttention shoppers, B7you're all a bunch of Ebastards.
