D                               A
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms 

          C                         G
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms 

        D                       A
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door 

         C                        G
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more

Some more? yes please, some more

Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat sock demi god 

         C                             G
Her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod 

D                                    A
Her front porch gave way beneath the classified weight 

C                                           G
And when the ambulance came they said it's much too late 

Bb                  D
Oh, it's much too late

Bb                  D
Oh, it's much too, much too late

Bb                  D
Oh, it's much too late

G                A         D
How late? Very late, too late

             D                       A
Now the people of New Guinea and the people of LA 

           C                             G
Have been pen pals for years cause they both hate ballet

              D                         A
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway 

            C                        G
But the news bulletin claims it's gonna be ok 

          D                            A
Now Miss Lucy had a sweatshop where the immigrants worked 

        C                                          G
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the twelve o'clock stroke 

               D               A
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X 

           C                       G
That was when the alien geraniums demanded the facts 

Bb        D
No violence of course

Bb        D    
No violence, no violence, of course

Bb        D
Hey, hey no violence, of course

G                 A       D
Off course? Why yes, of course 

D                                A
Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long 

C                           G
The TV gets quiet as we hear a real bad song 

D                                   A
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue 

          C                           G
And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs 

          D                             A
And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods 

          C                            G
And there's a back of a truck selling game show hosts 

          D                                A
And there's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead

          C                             G
And there's a back of a truck selling crumb free bread

          D                                A
And there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car 

          C                           G        
And there's a back of a car selling roadway maps

          D                              A
And there are roadway maps selling the back of a head 

C                                                  
Hey, how much for that back of a head, man? 

G                                   
Hey wait a minute, hey wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,

        D             A
that's my back of a head, hey you can't sell that man

        C              G

She lifted the monument in her monumental arms 

             C                       G
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms 

D                         A
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door 

          C                       G
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
