VERSE 1: [play VERSE-RIFF]

--------

You know it's kinda hard just

to get along today

Our subject isn't cool but he thinks it anyway

He may not have a clue and

he may not have style

But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial

[Here's what you play in the chorus, you'll have to figure

out how it goes with the lyrics by yourself. (not hard)]

CHORUS: [play the CHORUS-RIFF ]

-------

So don't debate, play it straight

You know he really doesn't get it anyway

Gonna play the field, and keep it real

For you no way, for you no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate

At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabees ah

Hey hey, do that brand new thing

BRIDGE: [play RIFF 1]

-------

Just play exactly like the intro,

only this time the girls are singing

at the same time as the guitar is playing.

Lyrics are:

Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)

Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)

Give it to me baby (Ah hah, ah hah)

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

VERSE 2: [play like verse 1, with VERSE-RIFF]

--------

He needs some cool tunes

Not just any will suffice

But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice

Now cruisin' in his Pinto

he sees homies as he passed

But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass

CHORUS: [play like first chorus, with CHORUS-RIFF]

-------

So don't debate, play it straight

You know he really doesn't get it anyway

Gonna play the field, and keep it real

For you no way, for you no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate

At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake

The world loves wannabees ah

Hey hey, do that brand new thing

VERSE 3: [see tab below]

--------

Now he's getting a tattoo yeah

He's getting ink done

He asked for a thirteen but they drew a thirty-one

Friends say he's trying to hard and he's not quite hip

But in his own mind he's the, he's the dopest rip

So don't debate, play it straight

You know he really doesn't get it anyway

Gonna play the field, and keep it real

For you no way, for you no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate

At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabees

The world loves wannabees

Let's get some more wannabees

Hey hey, do that brand new thing.
