Intro: GCDG
G You can't live together C You can't live alone D Considering the weather G Oh my, how you've grown G From the men in the factories C To the wild kangaroo D Like those birds of a feather
They're gathering together G And feeling exactly like you
Chorus: G They got mesmerized by lullabies C And limbo danced in pairs D Please lock that door
It don't make much sense
That common sense G Don't make no sense no more
CDG Just between you and me CG It's like pulling DG When you ought to be shovin, CGDG Like a nun with her head in the oven CG Please don't tell me DG That this really wasn't nothing
(Repeat Intro)
G One of these days C One of these nights D You'll take off your hat
And they'll read you G Your rights G You'll wanna get high C Every time you feel low D Hey, Queen Isabella
Stay away from that fella
He'll just get you G Into trouble, you know?
G But they came here by boat C And they came here by plane D They blistered their hands G And they burned out their brain G All dreaming a dream C That'll never come true D Hey, don't give me no trouble
