===============================================================================
Here are the actual lyrics, these are straight from Kurt Cobain's Journals.

Bell on door clanks - come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

I was shaved (3xs)

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard I hear a zip
Pee Pee Pressed against my lips

I was shamed (3xs)

I sense others in the room
Opey Aunt Bee I presume
They take turns in cut me up
I died smothered in Andys Butt

I was shaved (3xs)
==============================================================================
Great song very easy just listen to it one time through and you'll have it down.

Bell on door clanks come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my Face

I was shaved
I was shaved
I was shaved

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips

I was Shamed
I was Shamed
I was shamed

I sense others in the room
Opey, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and Cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's butt

I was shaved
I was shaved
I was shaved

It randomly does that open note thing on the B and e string, that i talked
about in the intro, throughout the song... but like i said i dont think it
is that big of a deal.
