Bustin' down my neigbor's door

         F

              C
only a dollar fifty

I can't afford to feed it anymore
G                    F
Big Lizard in my backyard

Bustin' down my neigbor's door

            F

 C
late last night
           G                               G      F# F
I was woken up by the sound of dynamite
                                    C
I... I went downstairs to find an army man
                      E
He said "We gotta blow up the things we don't understand!"

                   F                C              G
There's no more Big Lizard in my backyard
                              G     F# F
I won't have to feed it anymore
                         C
no more Lizard in my backyard
E
They shipped his ass to El Salvador!
