[F] It's [Am] a god-awful [C] small affair
[Eb] To [D] the girl with the mousy [Gm] hair
[Bb] But her mummy is yelling [C] no
And her daddy has told her to [F] go
But [Am] her friend is nowhere to [Eb] be seen
[D] Now she walks through her sunken [Gm] dream
To [Bb] the seat with the clearest view
[C] And she's hooked to the silver [Eb] screen
But the film [E] is a saddening [F] bore
For [Gb] she's lived it ten times or [Db] more
She [A] could spit in the eyes of [Bbm] fools
As [Db] they ask her to focus on
[Bb] Saving her
[Eb] Fighting in the dance [Gm] hall
Oh [Gb] man, look at those gay [F] men go
[Fm] It's a freaky [Cm] show
[Ebm] Take a look at [Bb] the law man
[Eb] Cheating on the wrong [Gm] guy
I [Gb] wonder if you'll ever [F] know
[Fm] Who's in the best selling [Cm] show
[Ebm] Is there life [Gm] on
[Gb] [Bb]
[Em] Mars?
[F]
[Gb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am]
[Bb]
[Bbm] [Bb] [F] It's [Am] on America's tortured brow
[Eb] That Mickey [D] Mouse has grown on the [Gm] cow
Now the [Bb] workers have struck for [C] fame
Because Lenin's on sale [F] again
See the [Am] mice in their million [Eb] hordes
From [D] Ibiza to the north [Gm] abroad
Rule [Bb] Britannia is out of [C] bounds
To my mother, my dog and [Eb] Klaus
[E] But the film is a saddening [Fm] bore
[Gb] Because I wrote it ten times or [Db] more
[A] It's about to be written [Bbm] again
As [Db] they ask her to focus [Bb] on
Saving her
[Eb] Fighting in the dance [Gm] hall
Oh [Gb] man, look at those gay [F] men go
[Fm] It's a [Eb] freaky [Cm]
show
[Ebm] Take a look at [Bb] the law [Eb] man
Cheating on the wrong [Gm] guy
I [Gb] wonder if you'll ever [F]
know
[Fm] Who's in the [Eb] best selling [Cm]
