[Verse 1]
A D Seventeen years at Falmouth Electrics A D Then I got made redundant along with everyone else A D Some of the other chaps got taken on at the new Morrison’s A D That wasn’t for me though – I wanted somethink anew. A D I bought a ventriloquist dummy from a shop in Redruth A D I took it on home, pierced it’s ears and back-combed its hay-er! A D With eyeliner on it looked like Pete Murphy a bit A D He could talk fairly well though he couldn’t pronounce the letter “B”. A D I said that’s okay lad it makes life much easier for me A D He said his name was Gary I said d’you mean Barry he said “yeah” A D We paraded the High Street in Falmouth and went down a storm A D He’d thought up a catchphrase and he used it as we neared HMV A D D “Have you got any Gauhaus, have you got any Gauhaus?” Pschhh...

[Verse 2]
A D All was tremendous between us until it went wrong A D We argued a lot: he demanded a signature song A D And he mocked me and taunted me and bragged that he’d got all the girls D (“I got all the girls!”) A D D N.C. So I lashed him on the fire and that was the end of all that.
[Chorus]
G A D Bye-bye to Barry, I’m bound for Barbados by boat G A D Be-bop-a-Lula Barbados with Barbara by boat G A D Has the cat got your tongue Barry – have you got nothing to say? G A D Build me up butter bean, Babbacombe and the Bay of Biscay G A D There’s no twist in the tale here, he’s not coming back in my head G A D And if you gave me my medicine I’d probably go back to bed G A Dmaj7 A D Seventeen years at Falmouth Electrics.
