    C            G
In 1941, a physicist named Ray McEntire
   F                         G
Rediscovered a method first discovered by Carl
Munters
C                         G                     F
 An inventor  from Sweden,  you knew that, right?
  F                  G
Yeah, I looked it up
  C                     G
Anyway, ol' Ray found a way to make large quantities
    F                           G
Of extrudent polystyrene in a closed-cell foam form
            C                 G   F
That was resistant to moisture

Chorus:
 G                        C    G
But you and I know it as styrofoam
F           G                   C       G
  Which reminds me, tonight, on my way home
F                      G
I need to hit the Kwik Sak
         Am                         G
And for five bucks, I got myself a portable box
       F                      G
I can fill with ice and keep all my Natty Lights
 C        G
Nice and cold
                F    G       C G F G C G F G
You gotta love styrofoa-o-o-oam

You can cram it down in your flower pots
Get it in peanut form and fill up a box
So that the crappy ash tray that your kid made
in class
To send to Grandpappy don’t get cracked along
the way
Hey, it's also used to make rafts for the US
Military
I'm for anything that supports the US Military
Thousands of usages, all kinds of stuff
And that includes forty-four ounce cups

Chorus:
Styrofoam
I fill it half way up with Diet Coke
And top it off with brown liquor
Now, I’ll walk down Main Street and catch me a bus
Right up underneath the nose of the fuzz 'cause of
Styrofoam
You gotta love styrofoam
I know I do

 Dm                               Em
Some folks say, "Hey, what about Mother Nature?
F             G
It decomposes so slow"
Dm                Em
I'm no scientist, all I know is this
 F                   G
Beer I'm drinkin' is so cold
Thanks to

 C    G
Styrofoam
 F    G
Styrofoam
 C    G       F  G

So thank you, Ray McEntire
            F           G
Thank you, Carl Munters
              C
And thanks, Steve (Steve)
