Intro: Dm Dm Dm Dm / Dm G (x2)
Dm Dm Dm He was an accident waiting to happen Dm G Most accidents happen at home Dm Dm Dm Maybe he should've gone out more often Dm G Maybe he should've answered the phone F G Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame' F G That's how he earned his regal sobriquet F G Then he threw it all away Dm Dm Dm For a porcelain monkey F G He threw it away for a porcelain monkey F G Gave it all up for a figurine F G He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas F G And his face on velveteen
From a shotgun shack singing Pentecostal hymns
Through the wrought iron gates to the TV room
He had a little world, it was smaller than your hand
It's a rockabilly ride from the glitter to the gloom
Left behind by the latest trends
Eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends
That's how the story ends
With a porcelain monkey
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame'
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet
Then he threw it all away
For a porcelain monkey
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
Gave it all up for a figurine
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
And his face on velveteen
