(intro)  C   G(x3)  Eb  G  
GI’ve just finished decorating, it was very irritating
And I Cknow they’re going to come around toGnight and I Cknow they’re gonna say to me toGnight:
D7“It makes the room look Gbigger; D7it makes the room look Gbigger”.
GSo let’s forget about the open-top bus ride; standing tall on the town hall balcony
CIt’s about as likely as Ghen’s teeth; Cit’s about as likely as Ghen’s teeth
D7And as the light gets Gdimmer, D7I watch the chance get Gslimmer.
But I’m Cputting up a hook to hang my Ghopes upon
There’s a Cfella coming round to stick the Ggas back on
And if Ctruth be told now that GThelma’s gone
                      D              G(instr)  G   C(x3)  D7  G  
It makes the room look bigger.
GI’m drawn towards the souvenir stores; I twirl around the key fob rack
Well it’s Calright for Nicholas and for GNeil, yeah well Chow do you think that makes me Gfeel?
D7And all the while I can Gsee D7I’m on the CCTGV.
(no chord)
Elderly lady at the bus stop thinks I’m going to eat her and so to reassure her
I Cask her for the Gtime
And her Csense of relief at my Gfriendly tone reCveals itself in her Gkarmic moan:
“You can Cwait twenty minutes and Gnothing comes along
And then Call of a sudden three Ebthugs rob your pension
Oh, there’s D7generally one a twenty-Gfive past
There’s D7generally one at twenty-Gfive past
They come D7swinging round that Gcorner,
They Ebthink they’re Benny GGoodman”.C  G  C  G  
But I’m Cputting up a hook to hang my Ghopes upon
There’s a Cfella coming round to stick the Ggas back on
And if Ctruth be told now that GThelma’s gone
DIt makes the room look Gbigger.
Oh tiptoe to the Dfront row of the GKorn show with a Csub-machine gun.G  G  C  G
