[Intro]
G  D7  G   G  D7  G
I’m a Gvendor of quack nostrums born in a Kansas Dshack
I came D7down to Greenwich Village with a Ctea chest on my Gback
I danced a while for Andy and crashed his CadilDlac
And now D7I’m just waiting for my Gban.
Oh does your Gheroin lose its Dglamour on the Cwashboard overGnight?
When your Dmother says “Don’t do it” do you Gcrank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother’s Dgiro? Do you Ctalk a load of Gshite?
Does your Dheroin lose its D7glamour on the Gwashboard overnight?
I’ve Gdrank too much black coffee, read too much Bill BurDroughs
I’ve D7been a “he”, I’ve been a “she”, a “Cmaybe” and “who Gknows?”
I’ve has the CBGBs, I’ve turkeyed way upDstate
So D7don’t you rock me, DaddiGo.
Oh does your Gheroin lose its Dglamour on the Cwashboard overGnight?
When your Dmother says “Don’t do it” do you Gcrank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother’s Dgiro? Do you Ctalk a load of Gshite?
Does your Dheroin lose its D7glamour on the Gwashboard overnight?
Does your Gheroin lose its Dglamour on the Cwashboard overGnight?
When your Dmother says “Don’t do it” do you Gcrank it up in spite?
Do you rob your brother’s Dgiro? Do you Ctalk a load of Gshite?
Does your Dheroin lose its D7glamour 
Does your Dheroin lose its D7glamour
Does your Dheroin lose its D7glamour on the CwashGboard DovD7ernGight?
