          G
The whole kit'in caboodle is in disrepair
C
There's nowhere to go that's not here
         D
All the  captains and cuckoos from here to Timbuktu
G            C                  D
Are counting their dough in the mirror
D                               G
Are counting their dough in the mirror

[Chorus]

G
Singing rooty toot toot for the moon
         C
It’s the biggest star I've ever seen
       D
It's a pearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
         G            C           D                                 G
And it's Burning just like Kerosene, and it's burning just like Kerosene

[Verse 2]
       G
He was just a young white kid trying to sing black and tough
C
with gravel and spit on his voice
   D
He laughed at the songs we sang, the radio laughed too
G                  C        D
And we lift up our arms and rejoiced
D                           G
And we lift up our arms and rejoiced

[Chorus]

G
Singing rooty toot toot for the moon
         C
It’s the biggest star I've ever seen
       D
It's a pearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
         G            C           D                                 G
And it's Burning just like Kerosene, and it's burning just like Kerosene

[Verse 3]
       G
So God bless motorcycles and all those far out trifles
C
You know you can't memorize Zen
D
Hang your hat on your nose don't hide in your clothes
         G        C        D
Smile at someone, begin to begin
D                          G 
Smile at someone, begin to begin

[Chorus]

G
Singing rooty toot toot for the moon
         C
It’s the biggest star I've ever seen
       D
It's a pearl of wisdom, a slice of green cheese
         G            C           D                                 G
And it's Burning just like Kerosene, and it's burning just like Kerosene
