[Verse]

          
It's a god-awf

              
ul small affai

 
r
             
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


[Pre-Chorus]

         
But the film i

              
s a saddening 


bore
            
For she's live

              
d it ten times

    
 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!
         
Look at those 

          
cavemen go
            
   It's the fr

          
eakiest show
          
   Take a look

         
 at the Lawman
           
Beating up the

 wrong guy
        
   Oh man! Won
