Intro:
C
Chorus:
F From the bells of St Mary C To the Count of Monte Cristo G Nothing can stop, nothing can stop F C Nothin can stop the sins of Memphisto G Sally used to play with her hula hoops F Now she tells her problems to therapy groups G Grampa's on the front lawn staring at a rake F Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake G I'm sitting on the front steps drinking orange crush F Wondering if it's possible if I could still blush C Uh huh Oh yeah G Boy on a bike with corduroy slacks F leeps in the river by the railroad tracks G He waits for the whistle on the train to scream F So he can close his eyes and begin to dream C Uh huh Oh yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
G The hands on his watch spin slowly around F With his mind on a bus that goes all over town G Looking at the babies and the factories F Listening to the music of Mister Squeeze G As if by magic or remote control F He finds a piece of a puzzle that he missed in his soul C Uh huh Oh yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
G Adam and Eve and Lucy and Ricky F Bit the big apple and got a little sticky G Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame F They humped each other like they had no shame G They paused as they posed for a Polaroid photo F She whispered in his ear Exactly Odo, Quasimoto
(Repeat Chorus)
G Sally used to play with her hula hoops F Now she tells her problems to therapy groups C Uh huh Oh yeah
