 The place where I come from, is a small town.

 They think so small, they use small words.

There's so much stuff I will own.

 My parties have all the big names,

And I greet them with the widest smile.

                                    Gm
Tell them how my life is one big ad-venture.

And always they're a-mazed,

                           C7sus4/G
When I show them 'round my house, to my bed.

         Cm7/G
I had it made like a mountain range,

                  Gm
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head.

 And I will walk through the front door.
