Verse 1 [partial]:

Verse 2:

          D         Em           D/F#
        There goes Fred with his hands on his head
                    G           A        D
        'Cause he thinks he's heard the bomb
             A          F#7
        And here comes Superspade [US single: Superman]
             Bm     E      A
        Who really puts it on

        It's lots of fun and I love to run
        Up and down the stairs
        I make as much noise as I want
        And no one ever cares

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

        There's Carl over there with his funny old hair
        And he's never sad at all
        And when I grow up I want to run
        As fast as my friend Paul

        There's the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
        And her name is Melody Mend
        And here comes Ma with Brother Tom
        Who's probably my best friend
                  Bb
        My best friend

            Ab        Eb/G
        And my name's Jack

        And I live in the back
                Ab    Gm             C
        Of the Greta Garbo Home For Wayward Boys And Girls

        We all love Jack
        And we live in the back
        Of the Greta Garbo Home For Wayward Boys And Girls
