[Verse]

         
   It's a god-

              
awful small af

     
fair
        
To the girl wi

            
th the mousy h

   
air
          
But her mummy 

              
is yelling "No

 
"
              
And her daddy 

              
has told her t

    
o go

          
But her friend

              
 is nowhere to

       
 be seen
        
Now she walks 

            
through her su

          
nken dream
          
To the seat wi

              
th the cleares

   
t view
              
And she's hook

              
ed to the silv

          
er screen

          
But the film i

              
s a saddening 

     
bore
             
'Cause she's l

#             
ived it ten ti

           
mes or more
          
She could spit

              
 in the eyes o

       
f fools
        
As they ask he

r to focus on


[Chorus]

      
Sailors fighti

ng in the danc

e hall
         
   Oh man! loo

            
k at those cav

     
emen go
           
   It's the fr

          
eakiest show

           
    Take a loo

         
k at the lawma

n

Beating up the

 wrong guy
         
   Oh man! Won


der if he'll e

  It's on Amer

That Mickey Mo

Now the worker

'Cause Lennon'

See the mice i

From Ibiza to

'Cause I wrote

It's about to
