We are the 8 0 1
D# A#
We are the central shaft - And we are
G# D#
here to let you take advantage
A# G#
Of our lack of craft
D# A#
Certain streets have certain corners
G# D#
Sooner or later, we'll turn yours
A# G#
We are the 8 0 1
D# A#
We are the central shaft - And thus through-
G# D#
-out two years we've crossed the ocean
A# G#
in our little craft (Row! Row! Row!)
D# A#
Now we're on the telephone
G# D#
Making final arrangements (Ding! Ding!)
A# G#
We are the 8 0 1
D# A#
We are the central shaft

Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
A# G#
Looking up and down the radio
D# D#
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
A# G#
Looking for a certain ratio
D# D#
Someone said they saw it parking in a car-lot
A# G#
Looking up and down the radio
D# D#
Oh-oh, nothing there this time
A# G#
Going back down to the radio
D# D#
Oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - here we go!

We are the table, the captain's table
F
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
G#
We are the losers, we are the bruisers
D#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
A#
We are the diners, the final diners
F
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
G#
Most of us tinkers, some of us tailors,
D#
And we've got candlesticks, and lots of cocktail sticks
A#
We saw the lovers, the modern lovers

And they looked very good, they looked as if they could

We are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
