Ben Franklins Song

G C G C G Electricity, yeah you can all thank me C Am Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key Bm C And they’re putting up street lights in gay Paris Am D G C You’re welcome from our young nation G I’m the only American the French wanna see C Am They call me a genius, I can’t disagree Bm C They have guns, they have funds, they can set us free Am D G Invest in my reputation Am And do you know who the f**k I am? C Yeah do you know who the f**k I am? Am Do you know who the f**k I am? C G C I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin fucking Franklin G I said early to bed, bitches, early to rise C Am They make a man healthy, wealthy and wise Bm C And soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies Am D G So diplomacy happens at night G John Adams debates at the gates of Versailles C Am Ay, he whines and berates and awaits a reply Bm C As I stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh Am D G Alright, diplomacy happens at night Am And do you know who the f**k I am? C Yeah do you know who the f**k I am? Am Do you know who the f**k I am? C G I am seventy-six-and-I’ll-still-kick-your-ass fucking Franklin Em C One pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride Em C Is my son back at home who I could not guide Bm C Who sits alone in a prison cell on the wrong side Am D G C Stands against our young nation G So I play my ambassador part with pride C Am I am known in the world, and the world is wide Bm C To my children, my sins may be magnified, but I'd Am D G Do it all again, no hesitation Am And do you know who the f**k I am? C Yeah do you know who the f**k I am? Am Do you know who the f**k I am? C Am I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin fucking Franklin Am (Do you know who the f**k I am?) who the f**k I am? C (Do you know who the f**k I am?) who the f**k I am? Am (Do you know who the f**k I am?) C Am I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing, polymath, bifocal-wearing Em Bb G Harp and glass harmonica-playing Benjamin fucking Franklin
