Intro] [bright fingerpicked acoustic guitar, banjo rolls, upright bass enters] [Verse 1] [male baritone vocals] Why does it get so quiet When you take the elevator Nobody wants to talk anymore [fiddle enters with melodic fills] We're packed in so tight You reach to push the light While we ride in silence till it takes us to our floor My creative mind is working overtime I'd like to make this memory worthwhile Forgive me if I'm rude, you may think me crude, you'll have to admit it makes us smile [Chorus] [three-part vocal harmonies, driving banjo and fiddle] Somebody farted Yes it could have been me The elevator started And it's such a sight to see May not have been the place And it was hard to stay straight-faced So I pointed to the bald man by the door [cymbal crash] There was panic in the air and the man who'd lost his hair Lost no time when we stopped at his floor [Banjo solo] [Verse 2] Why does it get so quiet when the preacher asks the question speak now or forever hold your words She was the bride to be really nothing at all to me such an opportunity that I'd be heard [Chorus] [three-part vocal harmonies, driving banjo and fiddle] Somebody farted! Yes it could have been me The wedding had been started And such a sight to see May not have been the place And it was hard to stay straight-faced So I pointed to the lady dressed in blue [Cymbals crash] Such a jolly air For the guests who point and stare As the bride and groom try to say I do [Verse 3] [acoustic guitar and bass only] Why does it get so quiet when the officer walks up and asks your girl to roll her window down [banjo and fiddle re-enter] She admitted what she'd done but it wouldn't be as fun unless you leave a parting gift as you leave town [Chorus] Somebody farted! Yes it could have been me He stuck his head in the car and I just let one go free May not have been the place And it was hard to stay straight-faced So I pointed to the dog on the floorboard [Fart sounds, cymbals crash] Don't know how much money It cost my pretty honey But it was funny when the dog jumped out the door! [Tag] 'Cause somebody farted! Ok, ok, it was me! I'm so kind hearted And farts are my good deeds! [final fiddle flourish, acoustic guitar strum]
