So follow me, its good for you
D7(no 3) G/D D
That good old fashioned Medicated Goo
D7(no 3) G/D D
Ooh, ooh, ain’t it good for you
D7(no 3) G7/D D
My own homegrown recipe’ll see you through
Verse 2:
Freaky Freddy Frolic had some, I know
He was last seen picking green flowers in a field of snow
Get ready, Freddy, they’re sure to grow
Mother Nature just blew it and there’s nothing really to it, I know
[repeat chorus]
[guitar solo over chorus chords]
Verse 3:
Auntie Franny Pritchett and Uncle Lou
They made some goo, now they really sock it to their friends
Frantic friends and neighbors charge the door
They caught a little whiff now they’re digging it and seeking more
[repeat chorus]
