[F]
We was a dr-d-d-driving to downtown today, about a midnight hour, and it's almost the
balloon of mind I got caught in a curtain shower.
I lose a light, squirt a twinkling on sunset.
I saw a sign in the sky.
I said a d-d-d-d-drip a d-drip a drip a drip.
I couldn't keep up if I tried
We [C] stopped at the reality company
To get some instant sleep
[F] And the driver turned and said,
Welcome back
Smiled and he said, beep beep
What goes on?
Chick, [C] chick
What goes [Bb] on?
I really wanna [F] know
What goes on all around me
What goes on?
I really wanna know
I waited to come out my dream of woman
She got a sequins in her hair
Like she stepped out of a buffalo in a film
She sat down on white straw chair
I [Bb] bought a [Ab] bar [F] to take a second look
Just to see what I could see
My scene had popped out like a bubble
It [Ab] was there was [Cm] nobody there [F] but me
I [C] said, the girl you drank a lot of drink with me
I bet you ain't in a wonderland
[F] You know I might have been there
To greet you [C]
child when [F] your trippin' shiver touch his hand
What goes on?
Chick, [Eb] chick
What [F] goes [Fm] on?
I really wanna [Eb] know
[C]
What [F] goes on?
Chick, [Ab] chick
What [F] goes on?
I really wanna know
A silver goblet of [Cm] wine
It's a two-bed [F] I held in a feature glove
Other nights they'd [Cm] test the tournament
[F] The falcons they'd fly above
I bet your queen will drink up a two at night
But to jest her she cries alone
Because of myriad I spoke up an instant spell
To make the devil's white night small
[C] And all in all
The seagull said as I look to where I've been
[F] A lot of human races have taken far too much mephagran
What goes [C] [F] on?
Chick, chick
What goes on?
I really wanna know
What goes on?
Chick, chick
[Fm] What goes on?
[F] I really wanna know
Yeah, well, come on
[Ab] We [F]
[Fm] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
[Fm]
[C]
[F]
sat on a velvet jewel case with sparkles everywhere
And a julienne we sat on a diamond ring
And if we talked of a day's gone by
We spoke of a comical lightoscope
And the pros and the cons and
And he spoke and he said of our pizza cake
It really did have a yin
[C] But until then he said no matter how true
Broken hourglass in his hand
[F] And the junior sat in [Cm] a white place looking
[F] Cool with a black lace band
What goes on?
Chick, chick
[Ab]
What [F] goes on?
I really wanna [Fm] know
What goes [B] on?
[F] Yeah, please [Fm] tell me
What goes [F] on?
I really [Bb] wanna know
[Eb]
