[Verse]

         
   It's a god-

           
awful small af

          
fair, to the g

irl with the m

ousy hair
        
   But her mot

              
her is yelling

          
 "No," and her


 father as tol

d her to go
         
  But her frie

           
nd is nowhere 

          
to be seen, as

 she walks thr

ough her sunke

n dream
        
   To the seat

              
 with the clea

          
rest view, and


 she's hooked 

to the silver 

screen
     
   But the fil

             
m is a saddeni

            
ng bore, for s

   
he's lived it 

ten times or m

ore
          
   She could s

              
pit in the eye

           
s of fools, as

    
 they ask her 

to focus on


[Chorus]

       
Sailors, fight

ing in the dan

ce hall
         
Oh man, look a

              
t those caveme

  
n go,
            
   it's the fr

          
eakiest show, 


take a look at

 the
       
Lawman, beatin

g up the wrong

 guy
         
Oh man, wonder

              
 if he'll ever

   he's in the

              
 best selling 

    
show
              
Is there life
