They Might Be Giants


Tom: F#

Album: The Spine


Intro:
C
I'm not much of a natural dancer
 D
But I know a girl who's a natural dancer
 F
You could call her a jumpin' bean
           C                                  G
She's got ants in her pants and she's gonna dance

  C
I know a girl who's a jumpin' bean
  D
She's got keys and a token when she hits the scene
  F
Yeah I know a girl who's got a record machine
  C                                      G
She acts like David Lee Roth when he turned 21


Chorus:
   C
I know a girl who's a natural dancer
   D
With a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer
   F
She coughs and she laughs and she makes a lot of calls
  C                         G
And all of the people applaud
                  C
As she leaves the store
                  D7
As she leaves the store (damn good times)
F                 C     G
All of the people applaud (damn good times)
