G
You can't live together

                Am
You can't live alone

D
Considering the weather

                  G
Oh my, how you've grown

G
From the men in the factories

                 Am
To the wild kangaroo

           D
Like those birds of a feather
They're gathering together
                         G
And feeling exactly like you
[Chorus]
         G
They got mesmerized by lullabies

                    C
And limbo danced in pairs

                 Am  D
Please lock that door
It don't make much sense That common sense
                       G
Don't make no sense no more
[Bridge]
C            D       G
Just between you and me

     C    G
It's like pulling

         D           G
When you ought to be shovin,

C      G            D           G
Like a nun with her head in the oven

C            G
Please don't tell me

          D             G
That this really wasn't nothing
[Instrumental] G Am D G [Verse 2]
G
One of these days

             Am
One of these nights

D
You'll take off your hat
And they'll read you
     G
Your rights

G
You'll wanna get high

                    Am
Every time you feel low

D
Hey, Queen Isabella
Stay away from that fella He'll just get you
                  G
Into trouble, you know?
[Verse 3]
G
But they came here by boat

                      Am
And they came here by plane

D
They blistered their hands

                          G
And they burned out their brain

G
All dreaming a dream

                   Am
That'll never come true

           D
Hey, don't give me no trouble
Or I'll call up my double We'll play piggy-in-the-middle
     G
With you
[Chorus]
           G
You'll get mesmerized by allibies

                    C
And limbo danced in pairs

                 Am  D
Please lock that door

         D
It don't make much sense

     D
That common sense

                       G
Don't make no sense no more

         D
It don't make much sense

     D
That common sense

                       G
Don't make no sense no more
