[ the intro bridge part i have written out here is just a guide, ]
[ really; you get the idea --near the 3 minute mark (a bit before]
[ the "coast to coast to coast" part) he repeats the ascending   ]
[ lick on the D string { D|--5-6-7-5-6-7-5-6-7-| }. the verse is ]
[ just a free strum on the A and D/A chords (sometimes he plays  ]
[ 7th chords (A: x 0 7 6 7 0 | D/A: x 0 7 7 7 8) and sometimes   ]
[ he plays them open --he appregiates them before the "lovin' it"]
[ part.                                                          ]
 
all the transcriptions (from coast to coast) will have the lyrics, 
since the liner notes don't have 'em.
 
lyrics:
-------
(ah-hahahahaha ha)

i'm sitting on the street, man
playing my guitar
looking at all the people
passing by the store
well they don't even know
i'm a small fish for a swim
and they just don't know
where we are to begin
 
ever since i been a small fish
oh yeah oh cmon
...
 
laa-la-la
looka that, (ya got to feel it)
lova that,  (ya got to love that)
pushin it   (pushin' it)
shoving it, (shovin' it)
kicking it, (and we're kicking it)
licking it, (and we're licking it)
looka that,         [             ]
cooka that,         [   as above  ]
kicking it,         [             ]
baking it,          [             ]
shakin it,          [             ]
baking it,          [             ]
i gotta take it, (na-nana naaa)
oh i'm gonna take it,   [                   ]
man im gonna making it, [  na-na's continue ]
i already made it.      [                   ]
                                            
you watch out for the sharks and the barracuda too
you watch out for the big fish they all try to eat you
you watch out for the fisher man and the hook-line and the sinker
and you watch out for the jellyfish, cos they all tentacle get you
 
ever since that i been a small fish,
oh yeah ...
 
drummer man (drum solo)
 
we go from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast
we go we go from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast
i said i go from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast
you gotta go from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast
yeah and from sea to shining sea
 ever since that i been a small fish (watch out...)

Sexy Shaved Haircut / Paul Travis
Get the goods from Captain Styles and Chef Travis. They bare (or bear) it all, so to speak. And they do it in public. The best part of making this video was the fact I got to eat the props. Except the bottled water. I'm a Grimace cup kind of dude. Feel free to subscribe and/or check out the other videos! I'll go ahead and include the lyrics on here until I put them on the site. Sittin' on the couch with the morning post With a cold cup of coffee and some boring toast Thinkin' I'm-a change it up, yeah that's always fun What you reckon, Remz? A McDonald's run So we hit the couch cushions, need some dollars, friend Yo, I found a five. Man, that's Canadian. How 'bout a loonie? A twonie? A spoon or The Goonies? Oh, it's 10:25. Dude, you gotta move, G. Got the cash, got the car, got the pedal to the floor Speed limit's 25, but I'm doing 34 Going drive-thru style, man it's fast express You can call it trans fat, I call it happiness Roll up to the teller fella with a minute to spare Frenchy with a headset, "can I take your order?" A McGriddle with a little sweet and sour there, son A McMuffin, then be stuffin' muffins up in my trunk Then a tray or two of hotcakes, man I can't decide, uh... All's I know is hit them things with Aunt Jemimah How 'bout an egg fajita for some Texas flavor No drama but my momma wants a breakfast bagel Don't forget my #4, or there'll be hell to spend And I want them eggs poached like an elephant Frenchy back on the line, "is that all your order?" No it ain't, fool, I want a Coca-Cola! Get my cup of Coke and I'm-a start a riot Cuz on the cup lid, dude depressed the "diet" Check his shirt tag, and I catch the name Brian, I ain't tryin' to drink aspartame Sittin' on the couch, 'bout an hour later Pickin' at a pouch of some Now n' Laters Hardly starving, man, but I find a hunch Start the car up fast because it's time for lunch It just takes two bucks and I get what I need Two beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese "Supersize Me" said he's had enough of it But how is it bad for my heart if I'm in love with it? If you never had McDonald's, heck, well dude you should It's a party, like a Hardee's, except the food is good Just don't get a large #2, I plead with you friend Cuz it'll be a large #2 when you see it again Enter the store, first you holla, then you Pick a couple items off the dollar menu Four hot McNuggets, dessert with custard Mix the sweet n' sour with a squirt of mustard. A Big Mac attack, you can max the lettuce Paying ain't a pain, they take cash or credit Want a water? You can pay up there for spring Or get the free Grimace cup--how embarassing They say, "you're playing with a cardiac arrest, my boy" Only thing bad for my heart's when they forget my toy Now I'm-a have a milkshake, but before you rant It's made of shamrocks--now that's a plant People say it's bad, but I don't believe them McDonald's is peace--just ask Tom Friedman Momma catch me with a 'zine, and she's screaming "stop! Don't you worry, Mom, it's just my man Ray Kroc Thanks to dubzattic for the beat!
