Whoever posted the chords for this tune originally was close, but they got the some of
the chords in the chorus and pre-chorus sections wrong. Thanks for posting it, but here's how it should be.

Gerbil
by Stephen Lynch
(pick the 1st verse)
AGDC
I bought a gerbil at the petting zoo
AGDC
If Richard Gere can do it, I can too.
AGDC
I get undressed and I start to lube
AGDC
I stick the gerbil in the end of the tube.
(strum the pre-chorus)
BbA
Wondering just how he'll feel
BbA
will he like it better than his little wheel
BbA
careful now he's right beside me
BbC
one more inch and he's inside me
DFDFDF
GO!!! Gerbil go!
(1st Chorus)
DFDF
Burrow harder, burrow deeper
DFDF
be my little chimney sweeper
DFDF
one thing I forgot about
C N/C
how am I supposed to get you out
(back to picking the verse)
AGDC
so now my gerbils on easy street
AGDC
it's warm and cozy and there's plenty to eat
AGDC
the situation is beyond my control
AGDC
gotta find a way to get him out of his hole.
(sturm pre-chorus)
BbA
I tried crowbars I tried wires
BbA
I almost got him with a pair of pliers
BbA
I tried cheese but he's not biting
BbA
I wish this wasn't so exciting
DFDFDF
Go!!! Gerbil Go!!!
(2nd Chorus)

Jesus, I am such a sucker

Please get out you fury fuuuahhh!

I think I am getting ill
C N/C
suddenly he's very very still
(back to picking verse)
AGDC
Now it's too late my gerbil died
AGDC
I guess I have committed gerbacide
AGDC
here's some advice it's very clear cut
A G D (no C) A
if you love your gerbil...don't stick him up your butt
(Continue strumming verse chords)
don't stick him up your butt
little furry gerbil in your booty hole
don't stick him up your booma whomma wam
(start babbling to the music,
kind of a scat like singing) (Ha! Scat...um...nevermind)
Yeah!
(end on chord A)
