D    A        Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas

G    A        heatin' up the atmosphere way too fast.

D    A        N20 can be your friend, though,

G    A        so grab a can of cool whip and let it blow.

 

D    A        When you go to the dentist to get your teeth pulled

G    A        ask him to give you some N2O.

D    A        You'll be floatin' on clouds as he pulls your teeth

G    A        and walkin' on water as your mouth bleeds.

 

D    A        Nitrous oxide won't give pain relief.

G    A        When you wake you'll wish you're still asleep.

D    A        N20 can be your best friend, though,

G    A        so grab a balloon at a Grateful Dead show.

 

D    A        What ever you do don't do it near a cliff

G    A        'cause N2O will always make you trip.

D    A        You will wake up 20 feet below

G    A        and wish you had more nitrous to pass out, you know.

 

D    A        Nitrous oxide is a laughing gas

G    A        the affect is quick but the smile lasts.

D    A        N20 can be your enemy, too.

G    A        If you're not too careful you may end up turning blue.

 

D    A        Nitrous oxide gets you high, high, high.

G    A        Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, high.

D    A        N20 gets you low.

G    A        Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, low.

 

D    A        Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, high.

G    A        Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, low.

D    A        Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, high.

G    A        Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, low.

D    A        Microbes are farting out N2O,

G    A        breakin' up organic matter in the soil.

D    A        It traps heat better than CO2

G    A        It's the most potent greenhouse gas.  Yes, that's true.

 

D A G A    Nitrous oxide: your worst enemy.  Your best friend.

D A G A    It creates smog and gives a blissful fog.

D A G A    You'll think your a frog or even God.

D A G A    You'll walk like a penguin or snore like a log.

 

D A G A    You'll act like a buffoon and buzz like a bee.

D A G A    You'll float in the air with the greatest of ease.

D A G A    It's seeps in from out into your room

D A G A    and eats your brain like a rabid raccoon.
