Me and my brother were talking to each other 
     |Cadd9        BbII |Dadd2        | 
About what makes a man a man

Was it brain or brawn, the month you were born 
  |Cadd9         BbII|Dadd2   |D 
We just couldn't understand 
   |D              G         |D        D Dsus4 D 
Our old man didn't like our appearance 
            |D          G        |Asus4     Ano3 
He said that only women wear long hair 
 
  |Bb5-                      |Fmaj7 
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother 
  |Cadd9              |BbII   Dadd2 
We knew what we had to do 
  |Bb5-                     |Fmaj7 
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium 
   |Cadd9          |BbII  Dadd2 |D    | 
And got our arms tattooed 
 
|D             D       |D     Dsus D | 
 Welcome to my life, tattoo

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'll be there when I die       tattoo

My dad beat me 'cause mine said mother 
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother 
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude 
And my mother thought that was extremely rude 
 
Welcome to my life, tattoo 
We've a long time together, me and you 
I expect I'll regret you 
But the skin graft man won't get you 
You'll be there when I die, tattoo 
 
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over 
My wife is tattooed, too 
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-tooty-toot 
Rooty-toodle-toodle tattoo too to you
