G G/F# Dm/F E7 Am
It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
Am/G D/F# G
But her mother is yelling "No" and her father as told her to go
G/F# Dm/F
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
E7 Am
as she walks through her sunken dream
Am/G D/F#
To the seat with the clearest view
Bb
and she's hooked to the silver screen
Bb+ Gm
But the film is a saddening bore
G# Eb
For she's lived it ten times or more
G7 Cm Eb
She could spit in the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on
CHORUS:
C F G
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Am Fm G Gm Dm
Oh man! look at those cavemen go, it's a freakest show
Fm C F G
Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Am Fm G Gm Dm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show
Fm Am C+ Am7 D7 F Gsus4 D
Is there life on Mars?
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
`Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again
