C                      E7
There's a telegram for you, ma'am

Am       F#dim
And the message is clear

F                         G
It says there's something bugging you

F
And buzzing in your ear

C                        E7
The results can be quite itchy

F               Adim
So what is your reply?

Tell your arm to swat that fly!

Hey, there's a telegraph line

        C
You got yours and I got mine

F             G
And everybody understands

Those telegram commands

        F          G                C
And you know that everybody better listen!

C           E7
The central nervous system

   Am                F#dim
Is the brain and the spine

F
The brain controls the system

                     C
And the spine is the line

                E7
Telegrams come in

               Am           F#dim
To tell what's happening to you

F                 G
Then telegrams go out

F                 C
To tell your body what to do

There's a telegram for you, sir

       Am             F#dim
Better read it on the spot

It says your hand is near a stove

F                 C
That's very, very hot

                         Am
The results can be quite painful

And there's no time to think

F                G          F                  C
Quick, pull that hand away, and get it to the sink!

                E7
Your peripheral nerves

     Am     F#dim
They go all out

F                G
Delivering those messages

            C
Your senses send out

                  E7
From your hearing and touch

        Am                  F#dim
To your sight and taste and smell

F                   G
They let your brain react

F                   G      C
To all the messages they tell

And it's at an awful time

   F                  G
It says you've got to go on stage

    F
And you forgot your lines

C                  E7
You're going to be embarrassed

             Am           F#dim
Because this telegram's a rush

F                         G              C
Your heart starts beating faster and you blush!

The autonomic system

      Am      F#dim
Has a hold of you

F               G
Controlling automatically

     F               G
Some things that you do

     C             E7
Your breathing and your heartbeat

     Am             F#dim
Just go on naturally

    F                        G      F   G      C
And when you're scared, your nerves rev up the speed!
