Kim Fowler
C G
One of America's great national pastimes is drinking a coke
F C
Taking a smoke telling a joke
C G
One of America's great national pastimes is playing ball
F C
Taking it all and thinking so small
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G F C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
C G
One of America's great national pastimes is chocolate fudge
F C
Carrying a grudge bribing a judge
C G
One of America's great national pastimes is poisoning rain
F C
Acting insane inflicting pain
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G F C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
C G
One of America's great national pastimes is the worship of speed
F C
Planting the seeds taking more than she needs
C G
One of America's great national pastime is cutting the grass
F C
Grabbing some ass living too fast
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
F C
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
G F C
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
