[Intro] | E | A | E | B A | | E | A | E | F#m7/C# | F#m7/C# | [Verse]
E            B         A      F#m     C#m
She had that Camarillo Brillo flamin' out along her head.

E          B        A    F#m           C#m
I mean her Mendcino Bino by where some bugs had made it red

E             B                  A      F#m       C#m
She ruled the toads of the short forest and every newt in Idaho

E         B               A        F#m    C#m
And every cricket who had chorused by the bush in Buffalo

E            B           A    F#m           C#m
She said she was a magic mama and she could throw a mean Tarot

E           B            A     F#m          C#m
And carried on without a comma that she was someone I should know
[Chorus]
D                     A          G  D
She had a snake for a pet and an amulet

D                      A              G           D
And she was breeding a dwarf, but she wasn't done yet

        E          B       F#          C#
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin

           B                      A
I told her she was alright, but I couldn't come in (I couldn't come in right then)
[Verse]
E          B                    A       F#m         C#m
And so she wandered through the doorway just like a shadow from the tomb

E            B          A        F#m          C#m
She said her stereo was four-way and I'd just love it in her room

E           B            A          F#m       C#m
Well, I was born to have adventure, so I just followed up the steps

E              B              A        F#m          C#m
Right past her fuming incense stencher to where she hung her castinettes

E            B               A      F#m          C#m
She stripped away her rancid poncho and laid out naked by the door

E          B             A      F#m        C#m
We did it 'til we were unconcho and it was useless anymore
[Chorus]
D                     A          G  D
She had a snake for a pet and an amulet

D                      A              G           D
And she was breeding a dwarf, but she wasn't done yet

        E          B       F#          C#
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin

           B                      A
I told her she was alright, but I couldn't come in (actually I was very busy then)
[Verse]
E          B                    A       F#m         C#m
And so she wandered through the doorway just like a shadow from the tomb

E            B          A        F#m          C#m

E              B              A        F#m          C#m

E            B           A    F#m           C#m

E B A F#m C#m Is that a real poncho? I mean, Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Hmmm... no fooling. E B A F#m C#m
