Lyrics & Chords: Matthew and Ben

capo on 2nd fret

Am             C G
Matthew and Ben, teenage best friends

Am                    C         G
Would often get stoned at night.

    Am                 C                G
But when they found out that they'd completely run out

   Am             C          G
It gave them an awful fright.


F7                  Am
Matt froze with fear

F7                 Am
Ben said "oh dear."

F              Am      C            G
It looked like being a boring night.


So Matthew and Ben sat in the kitchen
As bored as two boys could be.
Awake for so long that their brains went all wrong.
So tired they could hardly see.

Their eyes went red
They felt half dead
It was like being completely monged.

Matt said to Ben
"We should do this again
It's so much cheaper than buying from Dave."

So Matthew and Ben told all their friends
What fun being tired could be
They stayed up late too and found out it was true
And they all got stoned for free.

The sum they saved
Was to be praised
They'd saved enough to buy cocaine! thanks to Matthew and Ben.

Matthew and Ben
Matthew and Ben
Matthew and Ben
