Many call but few are chosen
Hey pretty baby letâ??s have a little fun
The Pinot is flowing and the nightâ??s still young
Over and above and behind and between
Make a little party for Selfish Gene
Steady girl let me grab on your wig hat
Down in the corncrib we shall go
No brains no regrets no worries
Hidey hi hidey hey hidey ho
Kundalini now!
Baby let me show you how
Selfish Gene donâ??t lick no Manolos
He donâ??t argue â?? he donâ??t ask twice
Selfish Gene donâ??t serve two masters

Cm Gm7 F5/Ab
Must every time I turn my ship around
Eb5/E Ebm7 F/Db Bbm/F# G#/F C+7
Some bastard come and knock my skyline down
I guess thatâ??s everything I suppose
The playdateâ??s over and the case is closed
Tell me momma that I didnâ??t do right
To have a little something on Amateur Night
I feel sure that weâ??ll meet again sometime
Donâ??t see why and I donâ??t know when
Maybe Iâ??ll catch you down at the daily
If you havenâ??t moved on by then
Take a dollar from the drawer
Daddyâ??s got a whole lot more
Selfish Gene needs clarity and closure
This is his house and thatâ??s your cab
You need a hug â?? now donâ??t be bashful
Do yourself and your friend a favor
You donâ??t bargain with Selfish Gene
Selfish Gene donâ??t take no prisoners
