AWhen you're riding the C#mrails with those G#wide open Aeyes,
Well there's Eone old Bsouthpaw you will Aalways fight.
AAnd alone, on a C#mworn out throne is the G#reigning Queen of the AQuestions.
Why we Eblind footed Btoddlers ever Astarted out.
So don't get itchy EwEmaj7ith me wBmhen I goose step
AAcross the kitchen floor, you know I still adore all your C#mmother's old-fashioned Bways.
So impressed that Eyou hear      Emaj7my Bminventions.
AAnd that it matters more than what you saw with your Geyes.A  
AGo along with the C#mplan, your head is G#still right there where you Aput it--
Under the Ebed, with the Bice cream you could Anever find.
AAnd at night you go to C#mbed and dream of the G#world to be what you Awanted--
You've got that G#girly draw, now Aflaunt it,
And keep them Eall checking their Bwatches when you're out Atonight.
So don't get itchy EwEmaj7ith me wBmhen I goose step
AAcross the kitchen floor, you know I still adore, are your C#meyes changing Bheads?
So impressed that Eyou hear      Emaj7my Binventions.
AAnd that it matters more than what you saw with your Geyes.A  E
