Intro: (First two lines a capella)
The only difference between men and boys
Is the size of their feet and the price of their toys
Always [E]  horsin' around, makin' [A] too much noise
Aint it [E] funny (aint it funny) how [B7] men'll be [E] boys

Mandolin Part: [A] [E] [B7] [E] X2

[E] Kickin' tires round a [A] pick-up truck
[E] Drankin' beer and just [B7] cuttin' [E] up
[E] Smokin' and jokin' out be[A]hind the shed
[E] Cussin' a blue streak till the [B7] girls turn [E] red

Chorus:
[A] The only [E] difference between [B7] men and [E] boys
Is the [A] size of their feet and the [E] price of their toys
Always [E]  horsin' around, makin' [A] too much noise
Aint it [E] funny (aint it funny) how [B7] men'll be [E] boys

Mandolin Part

Sneakin' out of the house tryin' to have a little fun
Lookin' for sumthin that he aint done
Look what the cat dragged in at the break of dawn, wooo
He aint passed out; he's campin' on the lawn

Chorus

Mandolin Part

You can spend a lifetime growin' up
You can spend a lifetime in a rut
When it comes a time you got to make a choice
You know, most men would just as soon be boys

Chorus X2 Then Outro With The Mandolin Part


Keep it in tune,
