Here's a song that BNL only does in concert. There is one know recording of
the song, it belongs to CFNY, the alternative music station in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.
Hope you like it. Sorry about the chord spacing.
MCDONALDS GIRL - Barenaked Ladies
D A G (quick A) D
D A G A D
I leave from softball practice every night
D A G A D
It's getting dark, but the "Golden Arches" light up the way
D A G AD
I turn the corner at the traffic light
D A G A Bm
I count my money and then I rehearse what I'm going to say
Bm Em Bm
"I'd like an order of fries, a quarter-pounder with cheese,
Bm Em A (hold)
I love the light in your eyes, will you go out with me please?"
CHORUS:
D A G
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
D A G A D
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
D A G
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
D A G A D
She is an angel in a polyester uniform
She doesn't try to impress anyone
She doesn't act all tough like all the other girls that I know
She don't treat me like a simpleton
She's not ashamed to be the only other virgin I know
When my hamburger's cold, I get up ready to go,
She's only fifteen years old, and I'm in love with her soul
(Steve Page Rap Solo)
She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door...BOY!
CHORUS
There she stands behind the register
She's taking orders from the Saddle River Little League
If they knew how much I wanted her
Their home-room teachers would have to send them home for a week
As I head through the door, the movement catches her eye,
My heart begins to soar, she smiles, she waves good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
CHORUS
Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Big Mac, Filet o Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries
Icey Coke, Thick Shakes, Sundaes and Apple Pies
Sing that song of taste
You can only find at one place: McDonalds
CHORUS

just thought i'd drop a line to make a minor correction. in "McDonalds
Girl", (b/barenaked_ladies/mcdonalds_girl), the progression is D-G-A, not
D-A-G. i have a live performance of this tune, and it's definitely
incorrect. keep up the great work. it's the best site online by far!!!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BARENAKED LADIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
