See this? This is my boom stick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of
the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet
baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut
stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
You got that?

Lyrics

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

(Pick it up)

Take me back home
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Come on

It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again






This is my first tab so give me some credit.
