Hey... (Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar) E C C G A I'm callin' in sick today E C C G A Callin' in sick today I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp" I could sit and count my hair I could burp my Tupperware I'm not busy now anyway.
