[F] [Am] It's a god-awful small [Eb] affair
To [D] the girl with the mousy [Gm] hair
But [Bb] 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 [G] she walks through her [D] [Gm] sunken dream
To [Bb] the seat with the clearest [C] view
And she's hooked to the silver [Eb] screen
But [E] the film is a saddening [F] bore
For [Gb] she's lived it ten [Db] times or more
She [A] could spit in the eyes of [Bbm] fools
[Db] If they asked her to focus [Bb] on seeing
The [Eb] fighting in the dance [Gm] hall
[Gb] Look at those gay [F] men go
[Fm] It's the [Db] freakiest [Cm] show
[Ebm] Take a look at [Bb] the law
[Eb] Feeding off the wrong [Gm] guy
[Gb] After it you'll never [F] know
[Fm] Who's gonna [Db] mess up [Cm] his show
[Ebm] As they're live [Gm] on Mars
[Gb] [Bb]
[Em] [F] It's
[Gb] [Gm]
[E] [Dm] [Am]
[Bb]
[F] on [Am] America's tortured [Eb] brow
That [D] Mickey Mouse has grown up a [Gm] cow
And [F] now [Bb] the workers have struck for [C] fame
As Lenin's on sale [F] again
See [Am] the mice in their million [Cm] hordes
[D] From Ibiza to the North [Gm] Abroad
[Bb] Louboutinia is out of [C] bounds
To my mother, my dog and [Eb]
clowns
But [E] the film is a saddening [Fm] bore
Cos [Gb] I wrote it ten times [Ab] or [Db] more
It's [A] about to be writ [Bbm] again
[Db] If they asked her to focus [Bb] on seeing
[Eb] The fighting in the [Gm] dance hall
[Gb] Look at those gay [F] men go
[Fm] It's [Db] the [Cm] freakiest show
[Ebm] Take a look [Bb] at the law
[Eb] Feeding off the wrong [Gm] guy
After it [Gb] you'll never [F] know
[Fm] Who's gonna mess up [Cm] his show
[Ebm] As they're live [Gm] on
