Hello, Johnson.  Your mother once gave me a

Lift back in school.

"That's no reason to get     so ex -cited."

Cmaj7  Am7        Bm7        

I'd been playing football with the youngsters-

C        D7           G

Johnson, please don't dramatize.

                        D9  D11    G           D7  

"And you can't even spell 'salacious'!"

Cmaj7    Am7          Bm7   

In a caravette with such a pretty widow,

   C     D7          G

But wheels aren't there to be looked at.

                          D9  D11G     D  

"And it's cheap to say that    she's delicious   

F             Fmaj7

  When she's someone's daughter."

Chorus:

Cmaj7  D7

Horse chimes - so stupid and so mean.

G Edim         D                D7

On the offensive, all wolf-whistle and jeans.

Cmaj7             D7                   

Horse chimes-they neigh, they never bell;

G             Edim       D7         D9   Fdim 

All straw and piss, they never kiss but tell.

Ebmaj7    Edim   F   Fmaj7        Ebdim     F#dim    Ebmaj7

And don't I know it,   and I'm ashamed.

Fmaj7      C      D                Dm7

And you won't say itthat we're to blame.

D7   Cmaj7

And I must change.

G   D7  

Cmaj7  Am7         Bm7       

There is a saying tailor-made for her:

    C     D7      G

She's the apple of your eye.

   D9  D11   G          D7

"Lord, don't smother her in     soapy feelings."

Cmaj7   Am7     Bm7

You buy a pedestal only to rest it

C    D7   G

In a wheelchair.

                       D9  D11       G       D7

"Beauty can't be beauty     till it's dying."

Cmaj7       Am7    Bm7

And I think I'll die unless I kiss you

C          D7     G

Please don't murder me.

  D9  D11     G          D

"Hark, I hear the ghost of     feeling leaving,

F         Fmaj7   

  And you know what pushed her!"
