Color A Mythical Beast (Live)

( E  A ) x2
 
E                            A
On the first day of 1st Grade
             E                             A
We were both held in from recess
                        E                          A                     B
‘Cause we were both writing profanity on our desks
I wrote hell!
I wrote damn!
 
E
But I spelled it d-a-m, so it technically wasn’t a curse word
But I think Mrs. Locklear knew my intentions
 
        E                                       A
Our punishment was coloring unicorns
        E                                              A
And that’s when we became best friends
       E                   A
But equally as important
       B                                B
We never defaced public property again!
 
     A
So if you’ve got a kid who’s
E                                 A
Writing obscene graffiti
                                      E
Give him a picture of a mythical beast
        A
And he will cease
      B           A   E
To write profanity
           B           A   E
Don’t write profanity
                          E                                                    A                                                E
Now, this may seem like something cute we just wrote in a song but it’s actually true
                                   A                                         E                                             A                                              E
It has been scientifically proven that you cannot formulate curse words while coloring pictures of mythical beasts
   E                A
Allow me to demonstrate

E      A      E
Ass-itote
A                 E          A
Shi-ver me timbers
E                  A
Fu-nnel cakes
E     A
Mo-ther fu-nnel cakes!
You see, it’s mother fu-nnel cake-ing impossible
 
     A
So if you’ve got a kid who’s
E                                 A
Writing obscene graffiti
                                      E
Give him a picture of a mythical beast
       A
And he will cease
      B           A   E
To write profanity
           B           A   E
Don’t write profanity
        B          A            E          E
Just color a mythical beast
