[Verse 1]
D D/C# D/C
It's a god - awful small affair...
B7 Em
...to the girl with the mousy hair,
Em7/D A7
But her mummy is yelling, 'No!',
D
And her Daddy has told her to go,
D/C# D/C
But her friend is nowhere to be seen,
B Em
Now she walks through her sunken dream,
Em7/D A7
To the seat with the clearest view,
F/C
And she's hooked to the silver screen,
Aaug/C# Dm
But the film is a saddening bore,
F7/D# A#
For she's lived it ten times or more,
Daug/F# Gm
She could spit in the eyes of fools,
A#7/G#
As they ask her to focus on...
[Chorus]
G C Em7
Sailors fighting in the dance hall,
D#aug D Dm
Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go,
Am7 Cm7
It's the freakiest show,
G C Em7
Take a look at the Lawman beating up the wrong guy,
D#aug D Dm
Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know...
Am7 Cm7
...He's in the best selling show?
Em Emmaj7/D# Em7/D Em6/C#
Is there life on Mars---------------------------?

[Verse 2]
D D/C# D/C
It's on America's tortured brow,
B Em
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow,
Em7/D A7
Now the workers have struck for fame,
D
'Cause Lennon's on sale again,
D/C# D/C
See the mice in their million hordes...
B7 Em
...From I - biza to The Norfolk Broads,
Em7/D A7
Rule Bri - tannia is out of bounds...
F/C
...To my mother, my dog, and clowns,
Aaug/C# Dm
But the film is a saddening bore,
F7/D# A#
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more,
Daug/F# Gm
It's a - bout to be writ again,
A#7/G#
As they ask her to focus on...
[Chorus]
G C Em7
Sailors fighting in the dance hall,
D#aug D Dm
Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go,
Am7 Cm7
It's the freakiest show
G C Em7
Take a look at the Lawman beating up the wrong guy,
D#aug D Dm
Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know...
Am7 Cm7
...He's in the best selling show?
