[A] [E]
Sex and drugs and rock and roll is all my brain and [G] body [E] need.
Sex and drugs and rock and roll [E] is [G]
very [E] good indeed.
Keep your [Abm] silly ways or [A] throw them out the window.
[Dbm] The wisdom of your [Eb]
ways, [A] I've been there [Abm] and I know lots [Ab] of other [Abm]
ways.
What a jolly bad show, [D] if all you ever do is [B] business, you [E] don't like.
Sex and drugs and rock and roll.
[D] Sex and [E] drugs and rock and roll.
Sex and [B] drugs and rock and roll is very good indeed.
[Dbm] Every [Abm] bit of clothing [A] ought to make you [B] pretty.
You can cut the clothing, [A] grey is such a pity.
[Dbm] I [Abm] should wear the clothing [A] of Mr.
Watermeaty.
[D] See my tailor, he's called [B] Simon, I know it's [E] going to fit.
Here's a little bit of advice, you're quite welcome, it is free.
Don't do love, that is caprice, you know what that'll make you be.
They will try the tricky device, trap you with the ordinary.
Get your teeth into a small slice, the cake of [Dbm] liberty.
