One, two, three, four, five, SIX SIX SIX!
It doesn't matter if it is good,
It only matters if it rocks.
The main thing that we do is to rock your socks off.
There's no such thing as a rock prodigy,
Cause rock 'n roll is bogus, right KG? ('Right!')
Only thing that really matters is a classical sauce.
And that's why me and KG are classically trained
To rock your fuckin' socks off!
Give 'em a taste, KG.
('Okay.')
That is Bach, and it rocks.
It's a rock block of Bach,
That he learned in the school,
Called the School of Hard Knocks!
Give it up for KG, give it up for me,
Give it up for KG, give it up for me,
Give it up for rock,
Give it up for blues,
Give it up for everything that is not to lose.
Now, rock your socks off, woman,
We'll rock your shit up, y'all.
Give it up, children, now to freak your shit out!
All right!
Now I know what a lot of you are sayin',
'I just figured out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my days.
I'm gonna get me an oversized guitar,
Gain forty pounds, and be the next D.'
Well, I got sour news for you, jack. It ain't that easy.
For instance, are you willing to make the commitment to wakin' up
At the crack a' noon, for deep-knee rock squats?
Seven or eight at a time? In a row!
How 'bout, are you willing to make the commitment
To rock-hard tasty abs, washer-board style!
Glistening in the sun.
How 'bout, are you willin' to make the commitment,
Of wakin' up, goin',
'Okay, it's gig time, what t-shirt am I gonna wear?
I can't decide, can't decide. Brain aneurysm!'
We've been through so much bullshit just to be here tonight
To rock your fuckin' socks off.
And all we ask in return is some precious little...
All we're askin' you to do
Is drop trou
And squeeze out
A Cleveland Steamer on my chest. ('Ooh.')
Two, three, four!
Give it up for KG, give it up for me,
Give it up for KG, give it up for me,
Give it up for rock, give it up for blues,
Give it up for everything that is not to lose.
Now, rock your socks off, woman,
We'll rock your shit up, y'all.
Give it up, children, won't you freak your shit out!
All right!

Part II: Bach Section, VERY DIFFICULT. This part is hard, i'm not going to lie. It is from Bach- Bourree. I bit this tab off of someone else and then made it more like KG plays it. If this section is too difficult for you, do not be ashamed and break and/or burn your guitar, just play the bottom section (bolded section), this will still sound ok, if you are a perfectionist then play both the top and bottom.
Part III: This is the only other part to the song. It is basically just chords, on the last E there are some pull offs on the chord itself. Just mash your fat index finger across all the strings on the seventh fret so when you lift off of the ninth fret and strum it still sounds right.
E(repeat as needed) A B E

Part I
Now I know what a lot of you here are saying tonight,
you're saying that looks like a fun way to make a living
you know what maybe i'll go get a guitar, learn some power chords
and make up some funny lyrics, that go...
I've got news for you buddy, it is not fun
we put up with so much bull, for instance...
how bout when you're about to go on stage
and then the stage manager says,
there is a talent scout in the audience tonight
all of the sudden the mellow gig turns into a fiery hoop
and youve got explosive diarrhea because of the nervous nelly butterflies in your stomach
and then how about this one...
you realize that your manager, that you've trusted for years
found out where your secret stash was, pinched it, stuffed it in her pockets
and then stole some of your loot and snarffed it because you cant trust anybody in the business
all i'm sayin, we've been through so much bull just to be here tonight to rock your freakin' socks off.
and all we ask in return is so precious little, all i'm saying is drop trou, and show us a little of the ol'
(whistle)
and
Part III:
E
give it up for KG, give it up for me,
give it up for KG, give it up for me,
give it up for rock, give it up for blues,
give it up for everything that is not to lose,
A B E
now rock your socks off woman, to prop your ship up yall.
A B E
Give it up children, now just freak your sheep out!!
Part IV: He adds this part at the end there is a variation on the E chord right before they start wailing on it. Then it ends with the regular chords (A, B, and E).

This song is an entertaining song from the partly acoustic comedy Group
known AS "The D". I included two guitars and lyrics at the end. play with
their hard rocking partner. I know I left out some riffs played during the
Chorus but you can barely hear them and they are even harder to tab out so
i left them be. Note this ENTIRE tab was transposed completely by ear.
100% non-plagiarized.
I tabbed this out because the other ones just didn't seem complete.
