        E     B   E
I got fired from SNL

[Verse 2]
           E
Between seasons
          E7
I hear a nasty rumour
     A                  E
That I was getting the sack
    A                   E
I tried to call Lorne Michaels
         E     B        E
But he never called me back

[Verse 3]
         E                     
I guess NBC had enough of Crazy 
   E7
Spoonhead
          A                  E
And the songs I sang on the news
 A                         E
Maybe they were sick of Cantine Boy
        E              B        E
But I think they just hate the Jews

Then I made over 4 billion Dollars 
        E
at the Box Office
      E               B     E
So I guess you could say I won
