G9
Melle Mel and Richard Hell were dancing at the Taco Bell
     C9
When someone heard a rebel yell,
I think it was an infidel

Adam Ant and Robert Plant,
defender of a psycho fan
    C9
And used to buy Ulysses Grant to record at the Record Plant
 G9
Islamabad is on the nod,
Havana at the riot squad
    C9
And if you want to be a Mod,
you'll have to meet me at the quad

[Refrain]
G9
  You got the best of my loco
C9
  I'll take the rest of your showboat
G9
  You got the best of my Yoko
C9
  I'll take the rest of your low note

[Verse 2]
G9
Parliamеnt's Atomic Dog,
their hats were filling up with fog
    C9
Wе talk about the life and death of everything in analog
    G9
The seventies were such a win,
singing the Led Zeppelin
C9
Lizzy lookin' mighty thin,
the Thompsons had another twin
  G9
I thought I won the lottery,
the numbers never thought of me
  D9
Ramones had a lobotomy,
so spin me like a pottery

[Chorus]
G9            C9
I will be your  poster child
             G9                 C9
You know the world is ours for a  little while
         G9            C9
And then I will be your  poster child tonight,
G9

D9
Ladadada, bumbumbudum

[Verse 3]
  G9
A funky piece, the Sandinista,
me and minor Mona Lisa
C9
Judas Priest has whipped the beast,
the mother love was named Teresa
G9
Bubble gum, I come bazooka,
dirty dandy nanalooka
C9
Smoke banana in your hookah,
now I know the band is ruca
G9
Bernie Mac and Caddyshack were dusty as the bricabrac
    C9
And if you ask me for the time,
I'll tell you that the future's back

[Refrain]
G9
  You got the best of my loco
C9
  I'll take the rest of your showboat
G9
  You got the best of my Yoko
C9
  I'll take the rest of your low note

[Verse 4]
      G9
Steve Miller and Duran Duran,
the Joker dancing in the sand
    C9
Van Morrison, the Astral man,
the festival of hurricanes
G9
Speak of Chico and the Man,
the silence of a certain lamb
C9
MCFive kick out the jam,
a poncho full of contraband
G9
Dairy Queen was on the scene in every cutie magazine
    D9
The Motorhead and mystic queen,
my misdemeanor Valvoline

[Chorus]
G9            C9
I will be your  poster child
             G9                 C9
You know the world is ours for a  little while
         G9            C9                     G9
And then I will be your  poster child tonight,

[Bridge]
Bb   Am         Gm7    C9
  You  got me on   this
                        D9
But then I can't get off
With no one else but you
Bb Am           Gm7   C9
You  turn me on,   too
                          D9
Well, then I can't get up,  ooh
For no one else but you

[Verse 5]
      G9
Creem magazine, A Love Supreme,
the ballad of a Billie Jean
    C9
And now we know the Status Quo,
but God would never save the Queen
G9
Dave Mushegain, Copenhagen,
copper goose of Ronald Reagan
C9
Dollar savers, Flavor Flav,
the cosmic moves are power saving
G9
And my fist a double kissed unlisted number purplemist and
C9
Chubby Checker do the twist,
and everyone's a narcissist

[Refrain]
G9
  You got the best of my loco
C9
  I'll take the rest of your showboat
G9
  You got the best of my Yoko
C9
  I'll take the rest of your low note

[Verse 6]
    G9
The waterbed was takin' meds,
a beaver with the house of red
  C9
A fatty for the Natty Dread,
a pocket full of talking heads
M.
G9
I. A.'s making Paper Planes,
addiction to the days of Janes
   C9
My slurpie's made of Purple Rain,
ten fingers in the lion's mane
G9
Giant squid, Karate Kid,
Sid Vicious in the katydid
    D9
The planet that we must forbid,
the English speakers in Madrid
