Dm            Am7  Bb      C 
At first I didn't realize 
         F 
I needed all this stuff 
Dm               Gm 
I had a little cottage 
          A           Dm    Am7 
And that cottage was enough 
Dm            Am7     Bb           C 
A place where I could sit and knit 
                       F 
A place where I could sell my Thneeds 
A                    Dm 
But now I've had a little time 
Bb              F 
To re-assess my needs 



                       Eb 
And I need a bigger office 
                  Gm 
I need a bigger chair 
Eb 
A bigger desk, a bigger staff 
Gm 
A bigger hat to wear 



            Ab       Fm 
Because I'm biggering 
                      Cm    Bb 
I'm figuring I'm biggering 
    Ab           Fm 
And biggering is triggering 
     G         Cm 
More biggering 



      Cm 
Hey, listen up, meathead 
       Cm                          Ab                   Bb 
I'm going to say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it 
Bb                           Eb 
Greed... ya see, it's like a little pet, alright? 
Cm                        Fm 
And the more and more and more that you go and feed it 
G                        Cm 
The more hungry it'll get! 
Cm                                        Ab 
But... you know, you really can't blame greed 
                  Bb 
No, that's stupid 
                           Eb 
You see, it's gotta worm inside 
                     G 
Oh yeah, that's right 
                               Cm 
It's one that always needs to feed 
Ab                        Eb 
And it is never satisfied 

You get it? 

Db 
But the more you try to find it 
                    Fm 
The more it likes to hide 
Fm                     Db 
   Now listen--that is a NASTY little worm 
                       Fm 
And I like to call it "pride." 
                             Gb 
See, now that's why you're biggering! 
            Ebm 
Listen here, idiot! 
                 Bbm 
And figuring on biggering! 
            Gb               Ebm              F 
  But that biggering's just triggering more biggering! 
           Am        
Got that? Alright! 

( Ab  Am  Ab  G  Em ) 



 Em         C 
There is a principle of nature 
D               Em 
That most every creature knows 
Em           C 
It's called survival of the fittest 
B            Em 
And this is how it goes 
Em               C 
The animal that wins has got to 
D                 Em 
Claw and bite and kick and punch 
 B              Em               C               G 
The animal that doesn't Winds up someone else's lunch 
                  F 
A company's an animal 
                  Am 
That's trying to survive 
F 
It's struggling, and fighting 
        Am 
Just to keep itself alive 



            Bb        Gm 
I must keep biggering 
                 Dm        C 
I'm figuring I'm biggering 
        Bb             Gm              Dm 
Though biggering is triggering more biggering 
E 
I won't stop! 
Bb        Gm 
Biggering 
                 Dm        C 
I'm figuring I'm biggering 
      Bb            Gm           Dm        C 
And biggering is triggering more biggering 

Final 

        Bb 
And the customers are buying 
        Gm 
And the money multiplying 
        Dm 
And the PR people lying 
         C 
And the lawyers are denying 
Bb            Gm             Dm     E 
Who cares if some things are dying? 
Bb        Gm             Dm     C 
I don't wanna hear your crying! 
Bb        Gm        Dm    
This is all so gratifying
