Intro: Bm - F#m - G - A G (2x)
Bm F#m
My mother said, don't mess with the lady in the park
G A
She may be dressed up and strapped down but I'm sure
G
she's gonna break your heart
Bm F#m
shake round, shake round, shake round, she starts
G A G
you might get your rocks off but you won't find true love
Bm F#m
Now I know the woman cares so I'm ashamed
G A G
but when I saw the flashing glitter and the line that she made into the
Bm F#m
sand as if I could not get that far
G A G
I stopped and to consider and when I walked away she said,
F#
I thought you were a man
G
I heard you play guitar
A G A
and I will take you in to show you what it's for
F# G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star
Bm - F#m - G - A G
Bm F#m
all my friends believe that she's in love with them
G A
but I know the bitter truth cause I'm the only one listening
Bm F#m
when she commands us, to do this, that, and now and then
G A G
she takes me around back and when I fall down, she says
F#
I thought you were a man
G
so what you cryin for
A G A
if you don't hold me tight, I'll leave you on the floor
F# G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star
Bm - F#m - G - A G
Bm F#m
of course I tried to do what I'd been taught was right
G A G
but all I ever thought about "el seso, senor", we did
Bm F#m
nothing to complain a-bout then I'd have to pay
G A G
the story in the end always went the same way
F# G
I thought you were a man I heard you were a star
A G
and I will take you in if you strum on your guitar
F# G
and I was just a little boy, so it was hard
Bm A
she had my kind of toys, she was my tramp star
Bm - F#m - G - A G
Bm F#m
my mother said don't you mess with that lady in the park
G A (break)
she is the kind of girl you don't need, ah
G (break)
she'll break your heart
Bm F#m
shake round, shake round, shake round and than she'll start
G A G
when she takes she clothes off, I don't want you seeing
F# - G - A - G
