If [D]she drank a glass [F#dim]of wine[D]
She's built [G]just like a garter snake
She [C]climbs up like a vine

And she [C]loves to snap at me

[Verse 14]
[C]Everybody thinks I'm insane

But [G]here's the reason
I like 'em skinny
Instead of full [C]of schmaltz

She's [F]slender but she's sweet
And it's closest to the bone
And sweeter is the [C]meat
