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

To the girl with the mousy hair      D  F#m Am B7

But her mummy is yelling no          Em G A7 A7

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    F  F

                                         Dm  D#

But the film is a saddening bore         Bb  D7

(For she's lived it ten times or more    Gm Bb7

 She could spit in the eyes of fools)

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

Sailors fighting in the dance hall  Em7 Cm

Oh, man, look at those cavemen go   D   Dm

Lawman beating up the wrong guy     G  A

Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know

                                   F#m G Gm7 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-

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

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