[G] [Bm] [A] [Bm] I'd like to [A] drop my [Bm] trousers to the [F#m] world I [Em] am a man of [G] need, of slender [D] [A] [B] means
Each household [F#m] appliance [E] is [B] like a new [F#m] plastic [Em] in my [G] pouch
[D] [A] And [Bm] if the day came [F#m] when I felt a [Bm] nudge of [A] emotion
[Em] I'd get such a shock I'd [G] probably jump in the [F#m] ocean

[G]
[D] [A] It's such [B] a [B] sad [G] thing
[Em] [Bm]
[A] [E] I'd [Bm] like to [A] drop [B] my trousers to the [F#m] queen
[Em] Every sensible [G] child will [D] know what [A] this means
[B] The poor [Bm] and [A] the needy [Bm] are selfish [A] and greedy on [Em] their [G] terms
[D] [A] And if [Bm] the day came [A] when life felt [Bm] a natural [A] emotion
[Em] And get such a [F#m] shock [G] I'd probably jump [D] in the ocean
[A] And when a train goes by [B] it's such a sad sound
