[Verse 1]
         
   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

And she's hook

ed to the silv

    But the fi

            
lm is a sadden

For she's live

              
d it ten times

       
 or more
          
She could spit

              
 in the eyes o

      
f fools
        
As they ask he

[Chorus]

Oh man, look a
