As recorded by Mott THe Hoople (From the 1973 Album MOTT) [Intro] G D G D [Verse 1]
G
Little whizz kid mystified me

          D
She was a New York City beat

    B              Em      C
She came on flash, monster mash

B                  D
Motors in her feet
[Verse 2]
D      G
Now we moved out from Manhattan

       D
To her home on the Brooklyn Heights

    B                           Em      C
Her dad's a street punk and her mum's a drunk

D
But we made out alright
[Chorus]
D#                 A    Dm        G#m
Far far from home, oh I felt so alone

          Cm          F#m            A#   F
Could not spin to the speed of the city

   D#         A           Dm            G#m
Oh send me my ticket, I'm too scared to stick

        Cm           F#
With my little whizz kid - such a pity
[Interlude] G D G D [Verse 3]
D       G
Now she really tried her hardest

        D
Just to make me leave the band

         B            Em     C
She even hired a toy "rent-a-boy"

B
Straight from a Times Square stand
[Verse 4]
D        G
Oh thank you little whizz kid

D
But me and my friends gotta eat

       B                     Em     C
So get back to school or the typing pool

     D
Just get yourself out on the street
[Chorus]
D#           Am      Dm        G#m
Send you victorious, happy and glorious

Cm                        A#               F
You got the stardust, the sawdust, and the smile

D#              Am              Dm         G#m
Don't lose your sting, how I'd hate you to swing

      Cm           F#           G            D  G  D
Oh my little whizz kid, you got such a style
[Kyboard Solo] F# B E x4 F# [Outro]
F#      D#
She's a cute super sleeper

    Dm            G#
She don't dive in deeper

  Cm      F#m         A#                F
A natural leaper, she don't let people pass

D#                Am
Watch out for the auto-mite

Dm             G#
Quick or she's outta sight

Cm          F#                          G   D
Oh my whizz kid, you know you're such a gas

G          D
Such a gas
