A lot of mayonnaise with your frites

And there’s a hole there in the wall
          E7sus4  E7     Am
Where the men can see it all
Dm7               G7
But the men don’t care
             Dm7             G7
Because they chew their underwear
        Dm7            G7           Dm7           G7
And the underwear they chew costs a dollar ninety-two

And the men go around with their ding dongs hanging down

Ever saved their asses in World War II
