[Verse 1]
F Am Cm/Eb
It's a god-awful small affair
D7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm Bb C7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
F
And her daddy has told her to go
F Am Cm/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
D7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Gm Bb C7
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eaug Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab7
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db Aaug Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Db7
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7 Gbaug F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7 Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm Gbaug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F Fm Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7 Gm7 Gbaug Bb C/E
Is there life on Mars?
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
F Am Cm/Eb
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
D7
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm Bb C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
F Am Cm/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
D7
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
Gm Bb C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eaug Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab7
For I've writ it ten times or more
Db Aaug Bbm
It's about to be writ again
Db7
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7 Gbaug F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7 Bb
Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show
