[Chorus]
A D A
Please call a doctor, I've been so depressed,
D A E
That I think that I'm finally breakin'.
A D A
I can't quite explain, I can't feel any pain,
D A E
But I know that this time I'm not fakin'.
C7 D7 A C7 D7 A
Oh, what can it be, oh inside of me?
[Verse 1]
D7 A
I saw my doctor he said, man you look sick.
D7 A
He said, I think you better do something quick.
D7 A F#m
He checked me over and he said I was fit.
Dsus2 F#m Dsus2 F#m
What you need is a change, have a shave, find a chick.
[Verse 2]
D7 A
Your body functions, but your hair's a disgrace.
D7 A
You shouldn't let it hang all over your face.
D7 A F#m
Change your image 'cos you look out of place.
Dsus2 F#m Dsus2 F#m
Comb your hair, put on weight, try to look up to date.
[Chorus]
A D A
Why don't you put in some permanent waves?
D A E
You'll look smooth you'll look cool, you'll be laughing.
A D A
You'll get lots of dates, you'll be made, you'll get laid.
D A E
You'll get out and about, you'll be laughing.
C7 D7 A C7 D7 A
Oh, you'll be O.K. once you get those permanent waves.
[Verse 3]
D7 A
I was really up but now I'm down once again,
D7 A
I went out walking and it started to rain,
D7 A F#m
My perm washed out, it just got flushed down the drain,
Dsus2 F#m Dsus2 F#m
My neurosis returned, I'm a wreck once again.
[Chorus]
A D A
But wait 'til I get back my permanent waves,
D A E
I'll be cool, I'll be smooth, I'll be laughing.
A D A
I'll be all the rage with my permanent waves,
D A E
And I'll start a new craze, I'll be laughing.
C7 D7 A C7 D7 A
Oh, I'll be O.K. once I get my permanent waves
