E                                      F#m
Slim got in the middle of a tricky situation
E                                    F#m
Stuck inside a roll with mustard all over
E            A
He wanted to scream
           F#m           A       
But he was too much a gentleman
                       F#m
Thought life was for always
             E                   
And death, a dream

Some people call him "Hot Dog," and some call him "Automatic"
Some people didn't like him, said he was a human zero
No matter 'bout no names 
He's the leader of the Fat Boys
And we gotta say, 
"He's our daddy, our hero."

And when you get in trouble and you got no one to turn to
Call upon the Fat Boys and they will pull you through
You fall into the river
And you're driftin' in the current
Don't have no fear
The Fat Boys are here
                                                 
Here comes Automatic Slim and the Fat Boys
They comin' round to play this evening after noon
And we don't want to hear it
If you don't want to play
'Cause we wanna play
This evening soon

And we still be playin' on to midnight
And we still be playin' in the dawn's early light
And if you don't believe us
Why don't you come and see us
Oh, we be right here
From July to June

But ol' Slim got in the middle of a tricky situation
Stuck inside a roll with mustard all over
He wanted to scream
But he was too much a gentleman
Thought life was for always
And death, a dream
