D
Oh, heli!

E
Oh, heli!
[Verse 1]
A
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand

A
Looking out across our Legoland

A                                       C    D
I really think it's about time that she came down

A
She a laughing, giggly whirlybird

A
She got to be obscene to be ob-heard

A                                       C    D
I really think it's about time that she came down
[Pre-Chorus]
E        B              E                 B
And I object to all the air mail that she pick up

    E                  B
The air mail that she pick up

    E                  B
The air mail that she pick up

E  B  E
Oh!
[Chorus]
                              F#
When she's up there twirling 'round

                E  B     E  B
Just like a helicopter, 'copter

                     F#
She's landing on the town

                       E       B    E       B
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her

                              F#
When she's up there twirling 'round, 'round, 'round

                 E  B     E  B
Just like a helicopter, 'copter
[Refrain]

A
Now she's away from convent, she's gone wild

A
She's grown from a nice young lady to a child

A                                       C    D
I really think it's about time that she came down

She's a laughing, giggly whirlybird

A
She got to be obscene to be ob-heard
