[Verse 1]
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F C/E Dm
He stands towering over me beside my bed
G/B C/A#
Losing his head
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F F G A
Tells me I must take him seriously
Dm/A A
Droning on the usual way
F C/E Dm
He's such a clever guy
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F
Then I wonder should I laugh or cry
[Verse 2]
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F C/E Dm
He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought

Trousers too short

Carries on the way he does
F C/E Dm
And me I get so tired
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
[Chorus]
A# Gm C F
High and mighty his banner flies
A# C Am
F fool's pride in his eyes
A# Gm Dm/A A Dm D#/F F
Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is)
A# Gm C F
All I see is a big balloon
A# C Am
Halfway up to the moon
A# Gm Dm/A A Dm D#/F F
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon

Of an eternal lie

So should I laugh or cry?

No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before

Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
F A#/F F A#/F F A#/F
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

A# Gm C F
High and mighty his banner flies
A# C Am
F fool's pride in his eyes
A# Gm Dm/A A Dm D#/F F
Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is)

All I see is a big balloon

Halfway up to the moon

He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
G/B F/C
Of an eternal lie

So should I laugh or cry?
