Callin' In Sick
"Weird Al" Yankovic
====================
(subtle bass and guitar with minimal drums [ie. closed hi-hat])
   EHCit my snGoozAe aClaBrm for the 27th time
   E  CJuGst AdonC't feel Blike going to work - I think I'll call my boss then I'm
   A  BGonna hacCk and Dcough Aand wheeze
BSwear CI've got Dsome strange disease
AWhat's Bthat litCtle twerp Dgonna say?  Hey...
(Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar)
	  EI'Cm Ccallin' Gin sick Atoday
	  ECaCllCin' Gin sAick today
I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp"
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my Tupperware
I'm not busy now anyway.   Hey..........
(Chorus)
	  EI'Cm Ccallin' Gin sick Atoday
	  ECaCllCin' Gin sAick today
	  EAiCn'Ct gGoing tAo work, no way
	  ECaCllCin' Gin sAick Gtoday
(Bridge) - (same as chorus)
  B  AI cBan do Aanything I want to
  BI Aam inBvinciAble now
     B  AI'm on BfirAe, baby
  I'm BaliveD, I'm alive, can you hear me, world?
  EI'm alive!
Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun and trying not to squint
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my bellybutton lint
When I'm sick of takin' abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away.  Hey...
(Chorus)
	  EI'Cm Ccallin' Gin sick Atoday
	  ECaCllCin' Gin sAick today
	  EAiCn'Ct gGoing to Awork, no way
	  ECaCllCin' Gin AsicGk today
