We are the 8 0 1
C# G#
We are the central shaft - And we are
F# C#
here to let you take advantage
G# F#
Of our lack of craft
C# G#
Certain streets have certain corners
F# C#
Sooner or later, we'll turn yours
G# F#
We are the 8 0 1
C# G#
We are the central shaft - And thus through-
F# C#
-out two years we've crossed the ocean
G# F#
in our little craft (Row! Row! Row!)
C# G#
Now we're on the telephone
F# C#
Making final arrangements (Ding! Ding!)
G# F#
We are the 8 0 1
C# G#
We are the central shaft
F# C# C#
G# F#
Looking for a certain ratio
C# C#
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
G# F#
Looking up and down the radio
C# C#
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
G# F#
Looking for a certain ratio
C# C#
Someone said they saw it parking in a car-lot
G# F#
Looking up and down the radio
C# C#
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
G# F#
Going back down to the radio
C# C#
Oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - here we go!

Either keep that up for the last part, or switch to chords.
I like F#, C#, E, C# when alone, or G#, C#, B, F# if there is B bass.
G#
We are the table, the captain's table
D#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
F#
We are the losers, we are the bruisers
C#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
G#
We are the diners, the final diners
D#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
F#
Most of us tinkers, some of us tailors,
C#
And we've got candlesticks, and lots of cocktail sticks
G#
We saw the lovers, the modern lovers
D#
And they looked very good, they looked as if they could
F#
We are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
C#
We think just like we would, we think just like we should.
Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
