[Verse 1]
D        D/C#                   D/C         B7
  It's a god-awful small affair  ...to the girl with the mousy hair,
Em         Em7/D                    A7                                 D 
   But her mummy is yelling, 'No!',     and her Daddy has told her to go,
         D/C#                   D/C
But her friend is nowhere to be seen,
          B7
Now she walks through her sunken dream,
Em        Em7/D                       A7
   To the seat with the clearest view,  and she's hooked to the silver screen,
F         Aaug                      Dm            F7
  But the film is a saddening bore,    for she's lived it ten times or more,
Bb            Daug                 Gm            Bb7
    She could spit in the eyes of fools, as they ask her to focus on...


[Chorus]
   G        C
Sailors fighting in the dance hall,
Em7          D#aug                 D   Dm                    Am7
    Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go,    it's the freakiest show,
Cm7                       G      C
    Take a look at the Lawman beating up the wrong guy,
Em7          D#aug                     D Dm                          Am7
    Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know   ...he's in the best selling show?
Cm7                   Em   Emmaj7  Em7/D  Em6/C#
    Is there life on Mars------------------------?

[Verse 2] 
D            D/C#                   D/C              B7
   It's on America's tortured brow,     that Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow,
Em           Em7/D                        A7
    Now the workers have struck for fame,    'cause Lennon's on sale again,
D          D/C#                         D/C          B7                  Em
   See the mice in their million hordes ...from I - biza to the Norfolk Broads,
           Em7/D                    A7
Rule Bri - tannia is out of bounds    ...to my mother, my dog, and clowns!
F          Aaug                      Dm           F7
   But the film is a saddening bore,    'cause I wrote it ten times or more,
Bb          Daug                   Gm          Bb7
   It's a - bout to be writ again,     as they ask her to focus on...
