A                        G
I’m just another ten percenter,
    C               D
My mind is like an ocean,
    A              G           C              D
My mind is like an ocean, I’m hanging in the harbor,

           A
I’m just drifting, letting out the line
I’m letting out the drifting line
      A             G
I’m trying to be a guy,
       C               D
Who’s hailing from Ann Arbor,

        A
Making jerk
        C#
Getting perk
          A
And it’s good
        C#
Yeah I would
        A
I’m a jerk!

If you're getting cotton mouth
You better have some water
Sucking syrup and soda
You're gonna just get hotter

But if you want to wile awhile
But if you want to wile awhile
Oh suck a syrup and soda
Oh dance, oh sons and daughters

           E F F# G
Making jerk
          C C# D#
And it’s good
         E  F F# G
Getting perk
         C C# D#
Yeah I would
       A
I’m a jerk

If you got cotton mouth
My mind is like an ocean
My mind is like an ocean
My mind is like an ocean

I'm a jerk
Making jerk
Soda jerk
And it's good
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
Jerk
