[Verse 1]
Em C
I didn't ask to be famous
Em C
But I'm not sore
Em C Em C
Cause you can see my face in the window of every store
Em C
You can buy my lunch box
Em C
You can wear my clothes
Em C Em C
You can see my name, just as plain as the face under your nose
[Chorus]
G Am F
I'm a new kid on the block
G Am F
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
G Am F
So we may not write the songs we sing
G Am F
But look at Elvis, he sold his soul and you crowned him king

But I'm not sad
Em C Em C
ya see I've got everything that I always wished I had

in fact my mind, I'm tired

I thank the screaming girls
Em C Em C
ooh, ooh I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F
now I'm a new kid on the block
G Am F
well I'm 23 and they won't let me grow up mmm
G Am F
I went down to register for the draft
G Am F
well I got up to the counter and the lady there just laughed
[Chorus]
G Am F
she said to her new kid on the block
G Am F
young girls scream and old boys mock
G Am F
well you broke my youngest daughter's heart
G Am F
well I knew you kids were trouble from the start

I can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass
[Chorus]
G Am F
I'm a new kid on the block
G Am F
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
G Am F
there's no need to be afraid of us
G Am F
though it just might be your daughter on our bus
G Am F
I'm a new kid on the block
G Am F
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
G Am F
there's no need to be afraid of us
G Am F
though it just might be your daughter on our bus (hey!)
