Verse1: C7 G Barney works down at the A&P, drives a baby blue AMC
ain't missed a day of work in 13 years, he's a fire dept. volunteer
he's got a yard that's always just been mowed
collected stamps since he was 10 years old
you never seen a more regular guy,
but when the sun goes down on Friday night
Chorus: G7 C7 slaps on his Hai Karate aftershave
puts on his Elvis jacket custom made
gets in his patent leather zebra boots
fires up his Super Sport Malibu
he burns that rubber 'cross the county line
a honky tonkin' fool 'til closing time
you oughta see him metamorphosize
from Barney Jekyll into Bubba Hyde
(4 bars intro)
