DmOscar Wilde A/C#died in bed, F/Cseveral floors a- G/Bbove my head
DmLiving well be- A/C#yond his means F/Cin that crazy G/BParis scene
DmRain falls down in A/C#sheets so clear, F/Cand no one ever G/Bcalls me here
DmTraveling by my- A/C#self these days, I'm F/Cinto jazz and G/Bfelt berets
AFar from the that old eastern Dmshore
ASearching for strange meta- Dphors
DI don't want D/F#to be Ganother viActim of faDshionD/F#  G  A  
No, DI don't want D/F#to see my Gname in the Apaper each dayD  D/F#  G  A  
Hey, you can Dleave that to the D/F#young Turks, Gthey're more Ahandsome and DdashingD/F#  G  A  
DPosing for D/F#papa- Grazzi's down La- Aguna way
Now Ddown in the D/F#metro, I Gfeel the world Astart to DmultiplyD/F#  G  A  
Bastille, Drubber D/F#wheels, spiked heels, Gsubter- Aranean DlullabyD/F#  G  A  
Met an DAfrican D/F#prancer, a Ghemisphere Adancer, spied the Dghost of D/F#BrassensG  A  
We Dsmiled at the D/F#secret we Gshared, and I Ahid it like Dcontraband ---
Quietly Gmaking noise, (Quietly making noise) Dstarts with kindergarten toys
GNot too soft not too loud, Djust enough to draw a crowd
AQuietly, quietly, quietly making Dnoise
DFollowed the D/F#beat, hey, I Gfound my- Aself in this Dpatois D/F#spotG  A  
DOutside a D/F#blizzard was Gblowing but Ainside the Djoint was D/F#hotG  A  
Zouk songs, Drubber thongs, D/F#sing-a-longs, Gthe Awords flew right Dby my faceD/F#  G  A  
You know Drhythm and D/F#motions, a Gblamma jamma Apotion you can- Dnot erase ---
Quietly Gmaking noise, (Quietlt making noise) Dpissin' off the old killjoys
GGlass packs on a hot Mustang, a DTelecaster with a twang
AQuietly, quietly, quietly making Dnoise, yes
DSingers and D/F#writers and Gpoets, have Aflocked here for Dcentu- D/F#riesG  A  
The Dcity of D/F#light is Gbuilt upon Amountains of Dmemo- D/F#riesG  A  
Baritone Dsaxophone, D/F#monotones, GspAeak of the voice I'Dve heD/F#ard be- foGreA  
It's a Dlasting im- D/F#pression, a GGypsy ex- Apression you Dcannot ignore ---
We're quietly Gmaking noise, (quietly making noise) Dstarts with kindergarten toys
GNot too soft, not too loud, Djust enough to draw a crowd
AQuietly, quietly, quietly making Dnoise
Yeah, we're quietly Gmaking noise, (Quietly) making noise, Dpissin' off the old kill-joys
GNot too soft, not too loud, Djust enough to draw a crowd
We're Aquietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly
Quietly, quietly, quietly making Dnoise, that's right, oh yeah
GA Awhole lot of beautiful noiseD  
Spoken
Oh, come on Gchildren, play those, play those Akindergarten toysD  
Everybody's a drummer tonight, GalAl right, leDt it ring now, let it ring --G--A-D
