A7Wake me with kisses in the Gafternoon
EThe butler knows any time you arrive is Amnever too soon
He knows Djust where you are by the Gsound of your car
He'll be Fwaiting there by the Cspiral stairE  
A7You could drive me crazy with your Gunkempt hair
EYou don't know what a comb is and frankly, I Amdon't really care
'Cause you're Dfresh and you're wild and you make the Gbutler smile
By Fbringing me flowers like Cmeteor showers
Treating Dme like a queen, though I'm Eonly nineteen
Which reFminds me of something that I've Crecently seen
It was a Bblook in the eye of FLady Di
CAs she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the Acentury 
Was in her Glong white veil
EMaybe she would rather have you than the AmPrince of Wales
And all the Djewels and the crown and all the Gvillages and towns 
That Fline the sea of the CmonarchyE  
A7And while I cut the roses, what Gabout Lady Di?
EShe's a child of the 80's just like Amyou and like I
Think of Dall of the things that Gshe'll never do
See a Frock and roll show, get a Cheart-shaped tattooE  
A7Look at all the music that I mGake with you
ELet's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in Amlove with you
DI will leave my Dior by the Gcabinet door
And I'll Fleave my bouquet on the Cbreakfast tray
Let's Fgo for a sail just like the CPrince of WalesE  
A7And did he ever love her in the Gafternoon?
EWas the kiss that she gave him in public Amjust a little too soon?
BbThere's a tear in the eye of FLady Di
CAs she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the 
ACentury is Gprobably a lie
EMy heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely AmLady Di
'Cause for Dall that it seems, here I Gstand in my jeans
For whatFever it means, it is CI who am queen.
