Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and I'm a dumb white guy 
        G                                  Em

           D                                                C 
But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat know as kid funky fry 
    G5*                            E5* 
I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye 
         G5*                         E5* 
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine 
          G5*                           E5* 
Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always strokin my own wookie

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire 
D5*                             C5*             (stop) 
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn

Burn motherfucker, burn
[Verse]
              G5*                             E5* 
Yo, yo,  this hardcore ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice 
         G5*                            E5 
I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is 
      G5*                                    E5*                    F#5* 
So if man is five and the devil is six then that must make me seven 
G5*            E5* 
This honkey's gone to heaven 
     G5*                         E5* 
But if I go to hell, well then I hope I burn well 
              G5*                                 E5* 
I'll spend my days with JFK, Marvin Gaye, Martha Ray and Lawrence Welk 
           G5*                                 E5* 
And Curt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimmie Hendrix's polterguist 
    A5*                             C5*                   A -3-0-2-0- 
And Webster yeah Emaual Lewis cause he's the Anti-Christ
[Chorus]
G5*                  E5* 
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire 
G5*                  E5* 
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire 
G5*                  E5* 
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire 
D5*                             C5*             (stop)
