lyrics

Make Way for the Sloths

Verse1:
A7
Decades ago, twas a simpler time
D
The knick-knacks were few, and that was just fine
A7
Limited choices didn't limit our pleasure
D
A porcelain cat was a rare find and treasure
G
Attention spans shortened, we looked for new things
D
Stores quickly learned that variety's king,
A7
Owls and moose, bears and turtles marched forth
D A7 D-Dsus
Don't forget dolphins and wolves, and tigers of course

Chorus:
D-Dsus A-Asus
Make way for the sloths, it's their turn to shine
Em A7 D-dsus
Foxes and hedgehogs, you've both had your turn, now get back in line
D-Dsus A-Asus
Make way for the sloths, they'll take over slowly
Em A7 D-dsus
The spotlight is waiting and anticipating their torpid entry
G-C9-G D-Dsus
Instead of a cheer, let's have a great yawn
Em A7 D-Dsus
Your laziness and lack of interest will beckon them on

Verse 2:
A7 Once we took comfort in what was well known
D Adorable kittens would grace every home
A7 Dogs for their loyalty, horses for speed
D With all this perfection, what more could we need?
G Eventually we became bored with such greatness
D The strange and unusual captured our interest
A7 The odder the creature the more we took note
D The giraffe, the llama, A7 The zebra the gecko, the stoat D-Dsus

Chorus
Bridge: (Full strumming)
G D A7 D
Make way for the overlooked, make way for the misunderstood
Em F#m Bm A7-A7sus
This seemingly small, attention to all, we'll use for the greater good
Chorus
