_ _ [Bb] _ [Abm] When the postman [Ab] brought little Petula Clark a pile [Bb] of letters after her first broadcast, she was [Ab] surprised.
She's used to [E] it now [Db] because she's become a regular star with [Ab] a regular fan-man.
[Bb] But when she's at school, she forgets all [Ab] about being a star and puzzles over the same things that bother most schoolgirls.
In fact, don't look now, but sometimes she has to rub it out and do it again. _ _ _
_ A good all-round scholar, but not brilliant.
[Fm] That's what teacher calls [Bb] her.

And when playtime comes, Petula's always well in [Dbm] the picture.

Most kids would like to live where Petula does, only a minute or two's walk from the Chessington Zoo.

But all the same, she's glad [Eb] they're safely behind bars.
