The sins of garter and gin, confessions may delay

Am                Bm               C                 D
You know the measuring pole, the merry boots of clay?

Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief

G           D                     G             Am7  G/B
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief

C            G           D              G             D       G

C           G/B           D        G                    D          G
And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink
[Chorus]

Say "Good-bye", baby, can't you act your age
