[Verse]
Eb      Eb/D                     
It's a god-awful small affair
Bbm/F

       C7                       Fm
To the girl with the mousy hair
       Fm/E                      
But her mummy is yelling "No"
Fm/Eb

        Bb7                        
And her daddy has told her to go
 Eb

        Eb/D                       
But her friend is nowhere to be 
 Bbm/F
seen
        C7                      
Now she walks through her sunken 
       Fm
dream
       Fm/E                        
To the seat with the clearest view
 Fm/Eb

          Bb7                 
And she's hooked to the silver 
         Gb
screen
        Gb/F                       
But the film is a saddening bore
Ebm

          E                        B
For she's lived it ten times or more
          Eb7                      
She could spit in the eyes of fools
  Abm

        B7
As they ask her to focus on

[Chorus]
Ab       Db
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Fm      Dbm                   Eb 
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
 Ebm

Beating up the wrong guy

Eb      Eb/D                     
It's on America's tortured brow
Bbm/F

       C7                       Fm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
       Fm/E                      
Now the workers have struck for

fame
        Bb7                        
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
 Eb

        Eb/D                       
See the mice in their million 
 Bbm/F

        C7                         
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads

       Fm/E                        
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
 Fm/Eb

          Bb7                      
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
    Gb

        Gb/F                       
But the film is a saddening bore
Ebm

          E                        B
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
          Eb7                      
It's about to be writ again
