E
A scrap of flesh
And a heap of bones
 A
One deep sigh
And a desperate moan

  E
Three black eyes
And a busted nose
       A
I said oh yeah, oh yeah

Chorus:
    A      B
   Take me up
                     A
   Baby I'm ready to go
            B
   Shake me up
                     A
   Baby I'm ready to go, yeah
           B
   Take me up
   Baby I'm ready
    A
   Baby, baby I'm ready to go
      E         D
   (Chill me, freeze me,
        G Gm    E
   It's in my blood)

I'm not going to burn in hell
I cased the joint
And I know it well
Maybe my carcass
Would feed the worms
But I'm working
For the other firm

Chorus:
   Take me up
   Baby I'm ready to go
   Fix me up
   Baby I'm ready to roll, yeah
   Set me up
   Baby, baby, baby I'm ready
   Baby I'm ready to go
   (Chill me, freeze me,
   It's in my blood)
   Flip the switch

A
I got my money, my ticket
All that shit
B
I even got myself
A little shaving kit
  D
What would it take
To bury me
G
I can't wait
                 E
I can't wait to see

I got a toothbrush, mouthwash
All that shit
I'm looking down
In the filthy pit
I had the turkey
And the stuffing too
I even saved
A little bit for you

Lethal injection is a luxury
I wanna give it
To the whole jury
I'm just dying
For one more squeeze
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Chorus:
   Pick me up
   Baby I'm ready to go
   Take me up
   Baby I'm ready to blow
   Take me up
   Baby if you're ready to go
   Baby I'm nowhere to go
   Baby I'm ready to go
   (Chill me, freeze me,
   To my bones)
   Flip the switch
