[F] [Am] It's a god awful small [A] affair, [Eb] [D] to the girl with the mousy [Gm] hair.
[Bb] But her mummy is yelling [C] no, and her daddy has told [F] her to go.
[Am] But her friend is nowhere [Eb] to be seen, [D] now she [G] walks through her [Gm] sunken dream.
[Bb] To the seat with the clearest [C] view, and she's hooked to the silver [Eb] screen.
[E] But the film is a [F] sadding bore, [Gb] for she's lived it ten [Db] times or more.
[A] She could spit in the [Bbm] eyes of fools, [Db] as they ask her to focus on [Bb] SINGERS!
[Eb] Fighting in the dance [Gm] hall, oh [Gb] man!
Look at those gay [F] men go, [Fm] [Db] hipster geeky [Cm] and shallow.
[Ebm] Take a look at [Bb] those old men, [Eb] cleaning up the wrong [Gm] guy.
Oh man, [Gb] wonder if you'll ever [F] know, [Fm] who's [Db] done the best of [Cm] each show.
[Ebm] Is there life [Gm] on Mars?
[Gb] [Bb]
[Em] [F] [Gb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Bbm]
[Bb] [F] It's on [Am] [C] America's tortured [Eb] brow, that [D] Mickey Mouse has grown up a [Gm] cow.
[Bb] Now the workers have struck [C] for fame, because Lennon's on sale [F] again.
[Am] See the mice in their [Cm] million hordes, [D] from Ibiza to the [Gm] North Abroad.
[Bb] Rupert Tannier is [C] out of bounds, to my mother, my [Eb] dog and clown.
But [E] the film is a sadding [Fm] bore, cause [Gb] I wrote it ten [Db] times or more.
It's [A] about to be writ [Bbm] again, [Db] as I ask her to focus [Bb] on [Eb] SINGERS!
Fighting in the [Gm] dance hall, oh [Gb] man!
Look at those gay [F] men go, [Fm] [Eb] hipster [Cm] geeky and shallow.
[Ebm] Take a look [Bb] at those old men, [Eb] cleaning up the wrong [Gm] guy.
