Man:    She looked like a corpse on my front porch
        Clutching the stone of her latest divorce, saying

           G           A       E
Both:   Let's get the baby high!

              E
Woman:  Oh Little pig, little pig, let me in!
        I've traded food stamps for a bottle of gin, c'mon
         G              A      E
        Let's get the baby high!

Man:    For someone like you to get custody
                  F#                 C#
        Of an innocent child is a tragedy,
                 A         B      E
        You won't get your baby high.

               E
Woman:  Oh, just open up, i've got nowhere to go.
        My man threw me out and it's starting to snow, so
          G            A     E
        Let's get the baby high!

          E
Man:    I don't mean to question your parenting skills,
        But i'm really amazed that kid hasn't been killed!
                 G            A      E
        Please don't get your baby high.

Woman:  For someone like you to criticize me
              F#                    C#
        Is really the height of hypocrisy!
              A          B       E
        So let's get the baby high!

BRIDGE:  E C repeated several times

           E
Man:    There's no way in hell I'll open my door,
        I still have pictures from the time before
              G             A       E
        You won't get your baby high.

               E
Woman:  Yes i've traded my bullets for a couple of lids,
        But it's none of your business how i raise my kids!
               G            A     E

               A            B      E

              E
Woman:  I've asked you politely, now i'm gonna be mean-
        If you don't open up, i'm going to scream!
               G           A       E
        Now let's get the baby high!
           E
Man:    You can scream all you want but you're not gettin' in
        What you do to that kid is really a sin!
                G              A      E
        Please don't get your baby high.
