Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
[D] [G]
[E] They're very good [E] indeed
Keep your silly ways
[A] Or throw them out the window
[C#m] The wisdom of your [A] ways
I've been there and I [C#m] know
Lots of other [A] ways
What a jolly bad show
If [D] all you ever do
[A] Is [B] business you [E] don't like
[D] Sex and drugs and rock and [E] roll
[D] Sex and [E] drugs and rock and roll
[D] Sex and drugs and rock and [F#] roll
Is very good indeed
[C#m] Every bit of [A] clothing
Ought to make you [C#m] pretty
You can cut the [A] clothing
Grey is such a [C#m] pity
I should wear the [A] clothing
Or Mr.

You're quite welcome, it is free
Don't do nothing that is cut price
You know what, that'll make you bleed
They will try the tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
