You know, the part that starts off "There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray"
So, what we usually do is play this chord progression:
Play the chord over the word only where the chord name is. You're basically
playing with the rhythm of the words, so you're playing it faster than it looks written 
In other words, there's not as much time between each
strum as it appears.
