Excuse me, darlin', to disturb you

meet their luscious daughters in the smalls beneath the boughs of birches
[Chorus]
Gm G
And Judy Garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a Chelsea store

D G Bm G Bm G E G
and Judy (Judy, Judy, Judy)

G D
Wanna put my foot down on Manhattan
G D
