[C] [Fm]
Doctor [C] in love, who is [Fm] above all others close to you?
Is it the [C] Queen?
Is it [Fm] obscene?
Tell [C] me, I want to [Fm] know.
[Bbm] I've [Eb] often wondered [Cm] what it is that [Fm] incites
[Bbm] So many [Eb] young people to [Ab] take part in [Db] those rites
[Gb] Whereby all men [Fm] in blue are the [Bm] targets to [Bb] [Ebm] destroy.
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Fm] Lady, [C] be good, I wish you [F] would move [C] while [Fm] exclusively
How [C] by the rite should friends in [Fm] spite of what [C] your views would [Fm] be
[Bbm]
Concerning [Eb] those matters of the utmost [Fm] degree
[Bbm] The point [Eb] being the question [Ab] and the question [Db] being he
Who [Gb] laughs first has [Fm] a thirst to [Bm] laugh longest, [Bb] [Ebm] has he?
[Fm] [Ab]
[Db] Over there, over [Ab] there, [Db] on the wall, [Abm] one in the hall

[C] Some [Fm]
take [Bbm] [Eb] the attitude that life is [Fm] a drag

But [Gb] if that's where [Fm] it's at, why the [Bm] hell don't they [Bb]
[Ebm] go?
[Bb] [Eb]
[Fm]
Houdini [C] said to get out [Fm] of bed was the hardest [C]
thing he could [Fm] do
Yet when [C] he's tight-strapped, jacket [Fm]-tight, he's [C] out [Fm]-counted too
[Bbm] Seems [Eb] elementary, mighty Watson, [Fm] I know
[Bbm] But think [Eb] what would happen [Ab] if for instance [Db] this show
That [Gb] we're in should [Fm] begin [Bm] not one hour [Bb] but [Ebm] two days
[Fm] [Ab] [Db] Over there, [Abm] over there, [Db] on the wall, [Abm] one in the hall
