[Intro 1]
[D][A][C#m]
[G][D][A][C#m]
[G][D][C#m][D][A][C#m][B5]
[A][G][D][C#m]
[D][A][C#m][A][G][A]
[C#m]How many times

[Verse 1]
do they play [E]that song?
[C#m]Broken [A]record [Ebm]on and on.
[C#m]Can't they [A]find a new song [E]to sing?
[C#m]Add some style to[G]
[D]that thing!
[C#m]Some people try to hit [D]each other[A],

[Verse 2]
Others try to love
another
[C#m].
Can't figure out what they should be,
[G]Me, I try and be jus[A]t me!
[D]Can't stand the[C#m] way it'[D]s done,
[A]Go away! Be someone!
[C#m]I keep hearing it's all [B5]wrong,
[A]That [G]same thing [A]on and [C#m]on!
Got no [A]substance [C#m]to your

[Verse 3]
[B]style,
[C#m]Go back [A]home and practice awhile.
[C#m]Why do you be[A] gag gi[C#m]ng me?[E]
I've [C#m]found my [A]own place [G]I should be!
The [C#m]world's full [A]of
[C#m]“wish I could [B5]be's[C#m],”
Bring it [A]raw, [C#m]that be me.
Passing [A]fad so [C#m]versat[B]ile,
[C#m]My own place, [A]sta[G]y awhile!

[Verse 4]
[F#5]We can't [F#m]dance, and we[D] can't sin[A]g,
[E]So we call [F#5]it... New Jerk Swing!
Everyone's [F#m]got th[D]eir own damn thing,
[E]This is [F#5]it... New Jerk Swing!
[G][F#5][G][F#5][G][F#5][Bm]
[B5]Hey![G][F#5][G][F#5][G][B5]
[Bm]Got

[Verse 5]
[C#m]no substance and too [D]much style,
[A]Do for your own, so versatile.
[C#m]Me, I'm bleeding for origi[A]nality,
Some[G]times this is [D]too easy.
Load that weapon, [C#m]keep blowin' [D]mind[A]s,
You and I we ain't the kind.
[C#m]Somebody talking like it's a sure [A]thing,
Keep [G]the fight [A]for [D]the brass [C#m]ring![D]

[Interlude 1]
[A][C#m][A]
[G][D][C#m][A][C#m]
[A][G][F#5][A][B5][G]
[F#5]It's all

[Verse 6]
[B5]the same song![G]
[Gm]It's all the [Bb]same song![B5][G]
[F#5]It's all the same [B5]song![F#5][G]
[D]And it's all wrong!
May [C#m]we sug[A]gest a new [C#m]recipe,

[Verse 7]
[B5]
[C#m]Something [A]cool, [C#m]no wan[E]nabe's[C#m]?
Do the [A]homework, [C#m]find the [B]page,
And [C#m]don't criticise [A]the [G]one who stays.
[C#m]Got the [A]good thing, [C#m]one that [B]pays,
[C#m]Leave it [A]alone, please [C#m]stay away,
Create your [A]own fight [C#m]for the [E]day,
[C#m]Too much [A]plastic [G]in the way!

[Verse 8]
[F#5]We can't [F#m]dance, and we[D] can't sing,
[E]So we call it.[F#5].. New Jerk Swing!
Everyone's [D]got their [A]own damn thing,
[E]This is [F#5]it... New Jerk Swing!
We [F#m]can't dance, [D]and we can[A]'t sing,
[E]So we call it.[F#5].. New Jerk Swing!
Everyone's [A]got [D]their own damn thi[A]ng,
[E]This is it.[F#5].. New Jerk Swi[G]ng!
[F#5][G][F#5][G][F#5]
