C
I decided to improve my social 
station
           F
I joined a fraternal organization

Tucked in my shirt, signed on the 
line
G
Right away they set about to improve
 my mind
G
The car I drove, the books I read,
G
the food I ate, the booze I drank,
G
the girls I took out,
G           C  F  G  C
My breath

C
They said "kid we don't much like 
the way you walk
            F
and you're gonna have to change the 
way you talk"
      G
They said "your dress is kinda 
sluochy

C                            F
The most important thing you can't 
forget
                 G
Is learning the entire Greek 
alphabet
C            f
I never did really understand
     G
how that's gonna' make me any more 
of a man

C
Then they hit me with some pretty 
bad news
               F
Concerning the payment of monthly 
dues
G
I never did know where that money 
went

and I never was sure it waa real 
well spent
              C  F
but I paid it
G
I'm no trouble causer and besides, I
 figured that's life
G                                 
If you want good friends, they're 
               C  F  G  C

G
To get myself out of that fraternity
 mess
       C                     F
