v.1
^DWell the ^Amsign said ^Glong-haired freaky people ^Dneed not ap^Gply
^DSo I stuck my hair up ^Aunder my hat, and I ^Gwent in to ask him ^Awhy
^BmHe said you look like a fine, upstanding young ^Gman, I think you'll do
So I ^Dtook off my hat an' said "I^Amagine that, huh, ^Gme workin' for ^Ayou!"

Chorus:
Woah, ^Dsigns, signs, ^Ceverywhere a ^Gsign
^DBlockin' out the scenery, ^Gbreakin' my mind
^DDo this, don't do ^Athat,
Can't you read the ^Csigns?^D

v.2
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' will be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled to the house --
"Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in?"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, "Man, you some kind of sinner!"

Rpt. Ch.

Refrain:
^AHey you mister can't you read, you ^Ggot to have a shirt an' ^Dtie to get a seat
^DYou can't even watch, no ^Ayou can't eat, ^Gyou ain't supposed to ^Dbe here!
^--And the sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside uh!

Instr. Brk.

v.3
An the sign said "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little sign
I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive an' doin' fine!"

Rpt. Ch.
