  This song is the story of Spike--the legendary boy with a dog collar

  on--

  and his experience upon entering the Cypress Lounge, a little redneck

  bar

  in lovely Gainesville, Florida. 

  

  Intro: Am

  Am

  	Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  	Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  

  Verse:

  Am

  	Oh look we got another one, just like the other ones

  

  	Another bad ass, another trouble maker

  G

  	I'm scared, ain't you boys scared

  	Am

  	Oh, I wonder if he's gonna show us what bad is 

  	F

  	Boys we got a man with a dog collar on

  	G                                    Am

  	Think we oughta throw ol' Spike a bone

  

      Make me say

  	Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  	Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  

  Verse 2:

  Oh here's another misfit, another Jimmy Dean

  Bet he's got a motorbike, whatta ya'll think

  Bet if we be good, we'll get a ride on it

  If he ain't to mad about the future

  Maybe we oughta help him see, the future ain't what it used to be

  

  Chorus: 

  		    G                           Am

  	Listen, hey Spike whatta you like

  	G                           Am(2 measures)  D(2 measures)

  	Hey Spike whatta you like

  

  	C D D D C / D C C C D / C D D D C / D C C C D / Em(4 measures)

  Am

  Oh say 

  Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo

  

  Chorus:

  Hey Spike whatta you like 

  Hey Spike you're scarin' my wife

  Hey Spike tell us about life

  Can you tell me about life

  I might need me a dog collar too boy

  It might make me say, say Oow

  I might say, might say...

  (to get the full effect, you must end by panting like a dog)
