The best ukulele bit of this song is impossible to hear on the album version, but Jimmy fills us on it in this video. So here’s the tab:
If you can’t handle the fancy stuff, you can play C and G in the chorus.
You can find this one on L’Appropriation Bourgoisie de la Bobby McGee’s (and you get a free sweetie when you buy it).
I really like the song, but I can’t figure out what he’s saying in the lyrics.

Could someone help me figure this out?
Kevin:
Do you mind* back when we were cool as Tigers?
Do you mind back when we were cool as tigers?
The greatest lovers and the greatest dancers
We’d bop….
We were the best dressed kids in the place
We’d dance like we were from outer space
& we’d bop…
Go Tiger…go tiger…. go.
Don’t ever let the dreams go/the bruises show
You’re still the coolest cat that I know
So Go Tiger Go Tiger Go!
We were kings and queens of the indie dance floor
When we danced, they’d take note
& we’d bop.
We’d dance all night on a pint of cider
I was Elvis…you were Nancy Sinatra
& we’d bop
We’d never leave home without our ukuleles
My crepe sole shoes & your pretty dresses.
& we’d bop
God help the dance floor that played our song
anything by The Smiths, Pulp, The Rammones
& We’d bop
Go Tiger Go!
Thanks for posting these lyrics, this is my new fav song!
