According [D] to Fiky, he was [A] always looking sickly, so [E] he went to England [Em] for a very [Eb] transplant operation.
[E] It's the woman at the Oklahoma Beach.
She worked [D] for a girl on here, and then her mother [Gbm] told her no, [Gb] because she didn't have any money.

That's when she began to question, where is that philandering to?
_ [Eb] _ Because then she was told with malice by Leach, who knew _ [C] the prince and the chief of police,
left in askance and eschewed. _
Askance?
_ Eschewed?
_ [Bb] There's a war going on in Turkey.
Prince Philip he wants peace.
[Bb] So he left rather [Eb] hurriedly to get some help from Bruce.
_ She was filled with rage and [Bb] anger.
She stood in disbelief.
What on earth is he doing over yonder with that wicked police chief?
There she is, wicked police chief.
Now in representing England we know what we expect.
That after [G] negotiations you give, sometimes you get.
_ Now I know Prince Philip wouldn't, but a chief, [Bb] he can be cruel, wouldn't.
I hope he didn't go to the capital of Istanbul. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Come on home immediately, she said, Buckingham Palace is in a mess.
The kids have all gone back, eh?
Your damsel's in distress.
So she met him at the palace gate.
_ Did you have fun?
Pretty terrible.
[Eb] While you were gone I captured a burglar.
So take heed and listen well.
Philip my dear, _ last night I thought it was you in here.
Where did you go?
[Bb] _ _ [Eb]
Working for good old England, but you're missing all the action.
My dear do you know, _ [N] there was a man _ in my [Bb] bedroom, wearing your shoe, _
fondling the royal costume, dipping in the royal perfume.
I'm telling you the truth.
A man in my bedroom, anxious for a [Eb] rendezvous, and I [G] thought it was you.
_ He beat just like you [Bb] but younger.
I'm telling you, stronger. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Harder.
Badder.
A man in my bedroom, [G] he came on the bed to do what you wanted him to do. _ _ _ _ _
