[Verse 1]
G# Cm/G Gdim7
It's a god-awful small affair
F7
To the girl with the mousy hair
A#m Aaug C#
But her mummy is yelling "No"
D#
And her daddy has told her to go
G# Cm/G Gdim7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
F7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
A#m Aaug C#
To the seat with the clearest view
D#
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
D#aug D# G#m
But the film is a saddening bore
A
cause she's seen it ten times or more
E G# C#m
She could spit in the eyes of fools
D
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
C# F#
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
A#m7 Aaug G#
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
G#m D#m7
It's the freakiest show
F#m7 C#
Take a look at the lawman
F#
Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

He's on the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

'Cause Lennon's on sale again

See the mice with their million hordes

From Ibiza to the norfolk broads
A#m Aaug C#
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
D#
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
D#aug D# G#m
But the film is a saddening bore

cause she writ it ten times or more

It's about to be writ again
D
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
