[Intro]
(Whistle)
Em G A B
[Verse 1]
Em
Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in él presidente’s swill
A
Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will
Em C B
Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero bills
[Chorus]
Em G A C Em G A C
Here we come, the jet set junta
Em G A C A B
Here we come, the jet set junta
[Verse 2]
Em
Broom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo
A
Rat-a-tat goes the sub-machine gun to restore the status quo
Em C B
Snip, snip, go the tailor’s scissors on the suit in Saville Row
[Chorus]
Em G A C Em G A C
Here we come, the jet set junta
Em G A C A B
Here we come, the jet set junta
Guitar Solo
[Verse 3]
Em
Thud, thud, goes the rubber truncheon on the Indian peon’s heel
A
Buzz, buzz, go the brass electrodes as the flesh begins to peel
Em C B
Rattle, rattle, goes the bullet round and round the roulette wheel
[Chorus]
Em G A C Em G A C
Here we come, the jet set junta
Em G A C A B
Here we come, the jet set junta
Em G A C Em G A C
Here we come, the jet set junta
