Foo Fighters - Keepin' It Clean - Lyrics & Chords - Special Friends Around the Campfire, actual campfire edition

This amazing Gay-Truckers-showering song, "Keep it Clean" or "Keepin' it Clean," plays in the background of the opening of the Foo Fighter's music video to "Hot Buns" (2011). This summer, they famously rolled up on a flat bed truck in Kansas City & sang it to the Westboro Baptist Church "God hates fags" protesters, which might have been one of the best moments in American history.

The Manna Tease were camping in Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park in the Great Basin desert last weekend, & sang it around the campfire - it's a bit shaky, we were doing it fresh from memory & after a bit of afternoon bourbon, but here goes:

And for your convenience, here are the lyrics & chords we use:


C G C C7 
Keep It clean, my mama said keep It clean (2x) 
F  
Driving all night, got a hankering for something 
C A7 
Think I'm In the mood for some hot-man muffins 
D7 G Gaug 
Mmmm, Sounds so fine, yes indeed
Keep It Clean, my Daddy said keep it clean (2x) 
Ain't looking for a fight, ain't looking for trouble 
Howdy Mr Right have you met Mister Bubble 
Hey, put 'er there, ain't she sweet. 
F 
Rubbin' and a lovin' and a scrubbin' and a truckin' 
C A7 
Maybe if we're lucky just a little bear huggin' 
D7   G7 C F C 
Know what I mean, Keep it clean 
Rubbin' and a lovin' and a scrubbin' and a truckin' 
Maybe if we're lucky just a little bear huggin' 
Know what I mean, Keep it clean
Note: We added the augmented chord for spice, it's not mandatory.
The Foo Fighters sing it in G, which is very low, but here's approx. their chords if you wish:

G D7 G 
G D7 G G7 
C 
G E7 
A7 D7
