[CATHY]
Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bbmaj7 Bb6
I could have a mansion on a hill
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Bb7
I could lease a villa in Seville
Ebmaj7
But it wouldn't be as nice
Dm7 G7
As a summer in Ohio
Cm7 Bb C C7 F7
With a gay--- midget named Karl
Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bb Cm7 F7 Eb F7/A
Playing Tevye and Porgy
Bbmaj7 Bb6
I could wander Paris after dark
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Bb7
Take a carriage ride through Central Park
Ebmaj7
But it wouldn't be as nice
Dm7 G7
As a summer in Ohio
Cm7 Bb/D C/Eb
Where I'm sharing a room
C7/E F7 Bbmaj7 Bb6
With a "former" stripper and her snake:
Wayne
Em7 A7 D6 Dmaj7
I could have a satchel full of dollar bills
D6 Dmaj7 Eb7
Cures for all the nation's ills
Ab13 Dbmaj7 Db6 Dbmaj7 Db6
Pills to make a lion purr;
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
I could be in line to be the British Queen
F6 Cm7
Look like I was seventeen
Gb7 F7
Still I'm certain I'd prefer
To be going slowly batty
E/F#
Forty miles east of Cincinnati
Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bbmaj7
I could shove an ice pick in my eye
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Bb7
I could eat some fish from last July
Ebmaj7
But it wouldn't be as awful
Dm7 G7
As a summer in Ohio
Cm7 C7
Without cable, hot water
Vietnamese food
Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bb Cm F7 Bb6
Or you
Ab/Bb
I saw your book at a Borders in Kentucky
Bb7 Ebmaj7/Bb
Under a sign that said "New and Recommended"
Eb6/Bb Gb/Ab Ab13
I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve
Bbmaj7 Bb7 Bbmaj7 Bb6
And then I couldn't leave
Dbmaj7
Richard, who was with me, got uncharacteristically quiet
Abmaj7
Then he said, "All things considered, I guess you don't have to buy it."
Dm7 G7 Ab7 Ab13
So I smiled like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down!
Dbmaj7
He wants me, he wants me
Abmaj7
But he ain't gonna get me!
Dm7 G7
I've found my guiding light,
Db Ab
I tell the stars each night:
Bbm7 Ab Bbm7 Ab
"Look at me! Look at him!
Bbm7 Ab
Son-of-a-bitch!
Db6 Ab Bb7sus
I guess I'm doing something right!
Csus Csus/Bb Csus/A
I finally got something right!"
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
No, it's not Nirvana, but it's on the way
F6 Fmaj7 F6
I play "Anita" at the matinee
Gb7 F7
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
I can state in my next bio:
E/F#
I'm never gonna go back to Ohio!
Bmaj7 B6 Bmaj7 F7
I could chew on tin foil for a spell!
Emaj13
I could get a root canal in Hell
F Emaj13
But it wouldn't be as swell
D#7sus D#7 G#m7 C#7
As this summer is gonna be!
E6 F
Cause the torture is just exquisite
B6 G#m
While I'm waiting for you to visit
B6/F# Bmaj7/F# Fm7 E7 D#9
So hurry up, schmuck, get unstuck and get on the scene!
D
Love
C#7 D B6/D#
The Midget, the Stripper, Wayne the Snake
C#m9 F#
And Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein!
B B/D# E F B/F# C B
That's me!
