B                       F#
Look at the kid from school

               B                      F#
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool

              B                    F#
He's changing fashion, the way he dress

    B                             F#
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody

       D#m          A#m
For a kid with the will to funk

    B        F#              C#
He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk

B                      F#
She's getting off the plane

               B                      F#
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged

     B                   F#
The kids fighting up the lane

      B
Shop lifting, just drifting

          F#
Like The Switchblade And The Cross

                 D#m                 A#m
But if there's trouble she's got the moves

       B           F#         C#
She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu

   B                    F#
I left my washing in the launderette

         B                             F#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet

           B
That when I see my washing

     D#m           A#m           B              F#
The black will be grey and the white will be grey

          C#
But the blues are still blue

B                      F#
I'm crying out for my mum

         B                         F#
If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble

       B                F#
With the boss of the company

      B                       F#
I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on

   D#m            A#m
The dock in the lazy sun

     B             F#       C#
Will never quite relegate me to a bum

   B                    F#
I left my lady in the launderette

         B                             F#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet

           B
That when I see my lady

     D#m           A#m            B              F#
The black will be white and the white will be black

          C#
But the blues are still blue

B                 F#
Baby, I love your face

            B
I've been creeping round this town because

        F#
Well, creeping's just my way

           B                   F#
But with a little wink I'll be there

          B                             F#
I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade

            D#m                 A#m
I know your young, but you're out of touch

       B              F#         C#
You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed

   B                       F#
I left my homework in the launderette

        B                              F#
I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate

              B
I hid behind the fence

               D#m     A#m             B        F#
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog

         C#
He's not making much sense

   B                 F#
I left my lady in the launderette

         B                             F#
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet

           B
That when I see my lady

     D#m           A#m            B              F#
The black will be white and the white will be black

          C#
But the blues are still blue
