Verse 1:
G Bm/F# Em Bm/F#
You who speak to me, across the fence,
G Bm/F# Am, E
Of common sense.
Am Am/maj Am7
How your tomato plant will win a prize;
Am6 Am D7 G
Won't that be nice? and by the way... how's your wife?

Your holidays, were spent in Spain, you went by train; you'll go again.

Have you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?
G Bm/F# Am E
Do you know the 'appy memory it re-calls?
Am Am/maj Am7 Am6
Here's a photograph of me with my son, Ted;
Am D7 G
That's me cousin, with his hanky on his head!
C Caug
We booked in at our 'otel just after two,
Am7 D7
And met a family from Bradford that we knew.
Interlude:
G G7
Ooh, what melo-dy-a! (Burp!)

G Bm/F# Em Bm/F#
My pink half of the drainpipe,

Verse 3:
G Bm/F# Em Bm/F#
I have a sister in To-ronto who's a nurse,
G Bm/F# Am E

Am Am/maj Am7 Am6
It's life, not books that taught me all I've learned,
Am D7 G
Woop, in the b'oven, my rice pudding's getting burned!
C Caug
'Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?

I must have the cat put down, 'cos he's ill.

My pink half of the drainpipe,
Am D7 (n.C)
Keeps me safe from you!...
Interlude: (Glockenspiel)
G
G C G
I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blanc-mange,
C G A7 D7
I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge.
G C G
Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates bal-loons,
(n.C)
Whoops! Boodly boop! (Pop!) Here comes a spoon!
Coda:
G Bm/F# Em Bm/F#
My pink half of the drainpipe,
G Bm/F# Am E Am
Separates me from the in-credibly fascinating story of your life,
Am/maj Am7 Am6
And every day to day event, in all it's minute,
Am D7
And tedious at-tention to detail...
G
And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday?
C
Or, oh, no, it wasn't though.
Caug
Oh, who cares anyway, because I do not.
Am7
So Norman if you're normal,
D7
I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life.
G Bm/F# Em
And I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen,
Bm/F# G Bm/F#
Incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six",
Em
Through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's,
Bm/F# G Bm/F# Em Bm/F#
Giant poisoned e-lectric head. So there...
Outro:
G Bm/F#, Em Bm/F# (x6)
