[Intro]
E7 F7 E7 [Verse]
G7+9 Melle Mel and Richard Hell
Were dancing at the Taco Bell
C7 When someone heard a rebel yell,
I think it was an infidel
G7+9 Adam Ant and Robert Plant
Were center of a sycophant
C7 Used to buy Ulysses Grant to
Record at the Record Plant
G7+9 Islamabad is on the nod,
Havana at the riot squad
C7 And if you want to be a Mod,
You'll have to meet me at the quad [Refrain]
G7+9 You got the best of my loco C7 I'll take the rest of your showboat G7+9 You got the best of my Yoko C7 I'll take the rest of your lono [Verse]
G7+9 Parliamеnt's Atomic Dog that
Hats were filling up a fog
C7 We talk about thе life and death of
Everything he ever loved
G7+9 The seventies were such a win,
Singing the Led Zeppelin
C7 Lizzy lookin' mighty thin,
The Thompson's had another twin
G7+9 I thought I won the lottery,
The numbers never thought of me
D7+9 Ramones had a lobotomy,
So spin me like a pottery [Chorus]
G C7 I will be your poster child G You know the world is ours
C7
For a little while
G C7 And then I will be your poster
G
Child tonight, ow
D7+9 La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum [Verse]
G7+9 A funky piece, the Sandinista,
Me and minor Mona Lisa
C7 Judas Priest has whipped the beast,
The mother love was named Theresa
G7+9 Bubble gum, a cup of soup,
Dirty dandy nanda loop
C7 A small banana in your hoop, and now
I know the band is snooka
G7+9 Bernie Mac and Caddyshack were
Dusty as the bric-a-brac
C7 And if you ask me for the time,
I tell you that the preacher's back [Refrain]
G7+9 You got the best of my loco C7 I'll take the rest of your showboat G7+9 You got the best of my Yoko C7 I'll take the rest of your lono [Verse]
G7+9 Steve Miller and Duran Duran,
The Joker dancing in the sand
C7 Van Morrison the Astral man
The festival of hurricanes
G7+9 Speak of Chico and the Man,
The silence of a certain lamb
C7 MC5 kick out the jam, a
Poncho full of contraband
G7+9 Merry Queen was on the scene
On every preteen magazine
D7+9 The Motörhead and mystic queen,
I must've needed Valvoline [Chorus]
G C7 I will be your poster child G You know the world is ours
C7
for a little while
G And then I will be your
C7 G
Poster child tonight
D7+9 La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum [Bridge]

C7 D7 For no one else but you [Verse]
G7+9 Creem magazine, A Love Supreme,
The ballad of a Billie Jean
C7 And now we know the Status Quo,
But God would never save the Queen
G7+9 Hear me shakin', Copenhagen,
Cop a ghost of Ronald Reagan
C7 All I say was Flavor Flav the
Cosmic rays were power saving
G7+9 And my fist double kissed a
Listed number purple
C7 Mr Chubby Checker do the twist,
And everyone's a narcissist [Refrain]
G7+9 You got the best of my loco C7 I'll take the rest of your showboat G7+9 You got the best of my Yoko C7 I'll take the rest of your lono [Verse]
G7+9 The waterbed was takin' meds, C7 A beaver with the house of red .. a
Pocket full of Talking Heads
G7+9 M.I.A.'s making paper planes,
Addiction to the ways of Janes
C7 My stuff is made of purple rain C7 Ten fingers in the lion's mane G7+9 Giant squid, Karate Kid,
Sid Vicious and the we did
D7+9 The planet that we must [Chorus]
G C7 I will be your poster child G You know the world is ours
C7
For a little while
G And then I will be your
C7 G D7+9
Poster child tonight
