mushed A7 And the chicken tastes like wood [Chorus] Em7 So you try to play it off like you think you can Em7 By saying that you're full Bm7 And then your friend says Mama he's just being polite Bm7 He ain't finished uhuh that's bull Em7 So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie Em7 And you say that you already ate A7 And your friend says Man there's plenty of food A7 So he piles some more on your plate Em7 While the stinky food's steamin' your mind starts to dreamin' Em7 Of the moment that it's time to leave Bm7 And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin' Bm7 Into

food that stinks [Verse] E7 So you bust out the door while it's still closed E7 Still sick from the food you ate E7 And then you run to the store for quick relief E7 From a bottle of Kaopectate B7 And then you call your friend two weeks later A7 To see how he has been A7 And he says I understand about the food A7 Baby Bubba but we're still friends A7 With a hip hop the hippie to the hippie A7 The
