E I know the chicks back home are going to jump and shout
A E When they hear old Tricky Dicky busted out [Verse 1]
E The guard he was a-sleeping in the noonday sun now
A E Flies were a-buzzin' all around his wo-hah rabbit gun
E I slipped down off the rockpile I was a-working on now
A E When that guard woke up, well I was wo- hah up and gone
E Yeah, yeah, yeah [chorus]
