C G D G And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot out of sight D A So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house G A "Hey, what gives you the right?

(chorus)
A Now hey there mister can't you read? G D You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat A You can't even watch, no you can't even G D You ain't supposed to be here........ C G D G Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside...Uhhh!
