Story Behind The Song

Chumlee of Pawn Stars fame

Lyrics

Chum as chum can be

My name is Chumlee, I work in a pawn shop
all the guys I work with, they say I don't know a lot
But I'm always trying to be me
Take a chance on Chumlee, if you want to be free
Don't forget--I'm Chum as chum can be

Old man wants his coffee, Big Hoss bosses me around
Rick don't think I can tie my shoes, treats me like a clown
But you'll never see me climbin up a tree
The school of hard knocks, that's where I earned my degree
And I'm always, Chum as chum can be

My T-shires are awesome, they're flying off the racks
Here's my lifelong promise: no more gaffes
Vegas you better watch out, I'm bigger than the King
What a turn of events: I've earned my wings!

Cannot tell the difference,' tween a real watch and a fake
workin' on the night shift, they won't let me catch a break
But there's one thing you can all agree
Chumlee's finally made it, I'll go down in history
Cause I'm always Chum as chum can be

(Instrumental)

Greasy chicken wings, no longer go down smooth
Now can they say I'm so dumb?
Already staked my claim, bad guys on the run
I'm in charge of an empire of Chum!

Hey my name is Chumlee, now it's plain to see
I am not a bum, Yes I'm a whole lot of fun
And I'm always Chum as chum can be
