It's a god-awful small affair            [Verse]

To the girl with the mousy hair      A  C#m Em F#7

But her mummy is yelling no          Bm D E7 E7

And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen

Now she walks through her sunken dream  [Pre-

To the seat with the clearest view       Chorus]

And she's hooked to the silver screen    C  C

                                         Am  Bb

But the film is a saddening bore         F  A7

(For she's lived it ten times or more    Dm F7

 She could spit in the eyes of fools)

As (they ask her) to focus on           [Chorus]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall  Bm7 Gm

Oh, man, look at those cavemen go   A   Am

It's the freakiest show             Em7 Gm7 x2)

Take a look at the                  Bm7 Bb

Lawman beating up the wrong guy     D  E

Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show           [Instru]

Is there life on Maaaaars          A  F#7 Bm   G#7

                                   C#m D Dm7 X

It's on America's tortured brow

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow ╔═════════╗

Now the workers have struck for fame ║ Life on ║

'Cause Lennon's on sale again        ║  Mars?  ║

See the mice in their million hordes ║  David  ║

From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads     ║  Bowie  ║

Rule Britannia is out of bounds      ╚═════════╝

To my mother, my dog and clowns  [Pre-

                                  Chorus]

(Because I wrote it ten times or more     [Cho-

 It's about to be writ again) (I ask you)   rus]
