F#mHey, everyone, listen up, your atteEntion if you please
Really want to F#mgive you a warning
Cause I fouBnd out this morning
Bout a danC#gerous, insidious computer virus
F#mIf you should get an email with the subEject: "Stinky Cheese"
Better not go tF#making your chances
Under nBo circumstances
Should you oC#pen it or eD#lse it will
D#Translate your doG#mcuments into SwaC#hili
G#mMake your TV record "GiC#gli"
G#mNeuter your pets and give your lC#aundry static clF#ing
(Look oEut!) It's gonna make your computer screen freeze
(Look F#out!) Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
(Look ouEt!) Erase your hard drive and your back-ups too
And the hG#ard drive of anyone C#related to you
F#VirC#us aleF#rt!
F#Delete immediately befC#ore someone gets hurt
FG#morward this message on to C#everybody
(    G#m  C#)
F#mSoon, very soon, it will make all the Epaint peel off your walls
It'll make your F#mkeyboard all sticky
Give your Bpoodle a hickey
And C#invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
F#mThen it will tie up your phone making Eprank long distance calls
It'll set your F#mclocks back an hour
And start Bhogging the shower
So just C#trash it now, or D#else it will
D#Decide to gG#mive you a permanent C#wedgie
G#mLegally change your name to C#Reggie
G#mEven mess up the pH C#balance in your F#pool
(Look oEut!) It's gonna melt your face right off of your skull
(Look F#out!) And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
(Look oEut!) And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're tryin' to sleep
(Look F#out!) And make you physically attracted to sheep
(Look oEut!) Steal your identity and your credit cards
(Look F#out!) Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
(Look oEut!) Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a G#bunch of Twinkie wrappers all C#over the place
C#That's right, it's a...
F#VirC#us aleF#rt!
F#Delete immediately befC#ore someone gets hurt
G#mForward this message on to C#everybody
