Version 1[Verse] Gmaj7 C6 Under soft lights Bm7 Em7 Em6 With a taped back face Am7 D7 Our soft spoken queen Gmaj7 C6 Takes her place on the stage Bm7 Em7 Em6 As the big curtains open Am7 D7 The last troops run in quick Gmaj7 For the one and only Gmaj7 Marlene Dietrich [Verse] Am7 She whispers Demurely Bm7 Em7 'from The Blue Angel' Am7 The song we all know F#6 F#+5 Bm7 The one that we've paid for Em7 Fills the hall tight A7 And pulls at our hearts Am7 D7 And puts in her place Gmaj7 C6 The girl she once was Bm7 Em7 Em6 In that suit of '33 Am7 D7 Soundtracked by disapproving commentary Gmaj7 C6 And my shuddering neighbour Bm7 Em7 Em6 Turns and roughly rouses me Am7 D7 Gmaj7 C6 He says, 'While a kiss on the lips may not make a frog a prince Bm7 Em7 Em6 Am7 D7 Gmaj7 An orgasm renders any queen a witch: metamorphosis exists!'
