Red Hooded Sweatshirt

Someone requested this tune a short while back. It's just C-Am-

F-G, same as Zeppelin's "D'yer Maker" or the 50's instrumental

"Sleepwalk" or "Runaround Sue" (OK, that's D-Bm-G-A). So there

you go, four for the price of one.

Red-Hooded Sweatshirt

---------------------

My mom bought you when I was just thirteen

F G etc...

The brightest red sweatshirt that I'd ever seen

She got an extra-large so I wouldn't grow out

"That's too big for you!" the other children would shout

But we stuck together, we didn't quit

And now the children say "What a perfect fit!"

CHORUS: (Same chords, barred for emphasis if you choose)

I love you sweatshirt

Red-hooded sweatshirt

(Dip-dip-dip) sweatshirt

(Shama-lama-ding-dong) sweatshirt

I like to rest my hands in your kangaroo pouch

It makes them feel comfy, like a big soft couch

And I don't care if the weather's no good

I say "see you later rain!" as I pull up my hood

Remember that long bus trip when I needed a nap?

I used you as a pillow on that Spanish lady's lap

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh what is it about you that makes me so jolly

Is it your fifty cotton or your fifty poly

I don't know, oh-oh-oh-oh

ooooo-ooooo-oooooooooo.....

Spoken: (same C-Am-F-G business)

Oh red-hooded sweatshirt, we've been through a lot together

Like that time I played in that shirts and skins basketball game

And I had to take you off and throw you in the corner of the gym

I was midway through the game and then I saw you lookin' at me

You were starin' as if to say "Adam, you suck at basketball.

You dribble like a damn woman."

I was so mad I challenged you to a game of one-on-one.

And you know, sweatshirt, even though I beat you eleven to nine

Deep in my soul I know you missed those layups on purpose

You let me win! And that's why (help me out Kevin...):
