[Verse 1]
C# Fm/C Gdim7
It's a god-awful small affair
A#7
To the girl with the mousy hair
D#m Daug F#
But her mummy is yelling "No"
G#
And her daddy has told her to go
C# Fm/C Gdim7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
A#7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
D#m Daug F#
To the seat with the clearest view
G#
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
G#aug G# C#m
But the film is a saddening bore
D
cause she's seen it ten times or more
A C# F#m
She could spit in the eyes of fools
G
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
F# B
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
D#m7 Daug C#
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
C#m G#m7
It's the freakiest show
Bm7 F#
Take a look at the lawman
B
Beating up the wrong guy
D#m Daug C#
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
C#m G#m7
He's on the best selling show
Bm7 D#m7 Daug F# G#
Is there life on Mars?
[Verse 2]

It's on America's tortured brow

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
D#m Daug F#
Now the workers have struck for fame
G#
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
C# Fm/C Gdim7
See the mice with their million hordes
A#7
From Ibiza to the norfolk broads
D#m Daug F#
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
G#
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
G#aug G# C#m
But the film is a saddening bore
D
cause she writ it ten times or more
A C# F#m
It's about to be writ again
G
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
