UKULELE CHORDS

Intro:
      -nc-
Welcome to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

Known from coast to coast like butter and toast

From headlines to bed lines
      -nc-
From schoolrooms to pool rooms

No other place in the contiguous United States

Or other environments of the world, welcome

Verse 1:

Can I get a T? -"T"-
                             B                  E
And if you hit me with the A-L-L-Y, then you'd see
         A                  D
Why the Hall is here for y'all

The mini-mall is calling us all in
    -nc-
So kids, pack up your mom's car, back up the Windstar

Kick it in drive and arrive at the mega mart

Slide the side hatch with pride 'cause your ties match

On booty duty like your name was Eddie Thatch'
      -nc-
W-W-T-H-d?

We like to kick it at the university

But all work and no play makes us crazy

So we jump in the bumping SUV
               B                    E
Hit the street, get the sweet tunes on
                         A            D
Do a donut on your mama's front lawn
                    B                                           E
And sooner than you know, you've found the rock 'n' roll show
             A                     D
At the Tizzy Hizzy, we'll be gone

Chorus 1:
  B                  E
We're in the mini-mall
  A             D
Working the carnival
   B               E
We like to play it all
    A             D
Welcome to Tally Hall

Verse 2:

"Who's to blame?"
    -nc-
The automated players, I proclaim

Yellow tie, this suave fellow writes

Heterophonic tunes of how love bites
      -nc-
Red, the proud loud guy we adore

"Is my amp too high?" "No, turn it up more!"
 B                                 E
So Grey in the back, sippin' 'gnac in here
   A                                     D
He's knockin' down the shots like Bill Laimbeer
   B                                E
Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys
    A                                 D
To unlock the rock in the act if you please
    B                           E
Now open the case, give Blue the bass
    A                                  D
And jiggle your badiggle all over the place

Chorus 1:
 B                  E
We're in the mini-mall
  A             D
Working the carnival
   B             E
We like to play it all
   A             D
Welcome to Tally Hall
   B              E
We're in the mini-mall
    A          D
Working the carnival
    B             E
We like to play it all
   A             D
Welcome to Tally Hall

Verse 3:
  -nc-
Can I get a click?

Flick off the switch and we'll ignite the night in pitch

Singin' songs you like to hear, and the world will disappear

Then we'll be glowing in the dark, lighting up the park
                          B                                E
Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please
                       A                    D
With unpredictable games and antiquities
               B                  E
The collectibles so delectable
                   A                   D
The unreliable style's undetectable
       -nc-
Like I might rap like an English chap

Take you by the knickers and a bum you'll slap

You didn't think we had the gall

Well, bloody welcome to Tally Hall!
      B                     E
We're stereosonic, we're animatronic
      A                            D
We're rappin' with the robo-electronic ebonics
      B                      B
A quick distraction, a mechanic attraction
     B                        B
Got a penny in your pocket for the slot
  E
What?

Bridge:
   E               A
Hey, ho, don't'cha know?
   B                         D
It's a good old-fashioned puppet show!
   E                 A
That's right, quite the set
    B                   D
We're the marionette quintet

Chorus 2:
     E          A            B
We think we're playing in a band
     E          A              B
But we'd love to give you all a hand

Woo!

Chorus 1:
   B              E
We're in the mini-mall
   A             D
Working the carnival
    B              E
We like to play it all
   A             D
Welcome to Tally Hall

Chorus 2:
       E           A          B
We think we're playing in a band
      -nc-
But we'd love to give you all a hand

We think we're playing in a band -"Yarrgh!"-

We'd love to give you all a hand
      -nc-
We think we're playing in a band -"Ah!"-

We'd love to give you all a hand
