A#A#7D#7
Didnʼt I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night?
A#D#7
You were eating eggs in Sammyʼs when the black man there drew his knife.
A#A#D#7
Or you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed his sleevless shirt.
D#7A#
You know that Spanish speaking gentleman, the one that we call Kurt.
CmG#A#DmCmD#A#
Come now, gentleman, I know thereʼs some mistake
DmCmD#A#
How forgetful Iʼm becoming now you fixed your business straight
A#D#7A#
I remember you in Hemlock Road in nineteen fifty six
A#D#7A#
You were a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick
A#
You were a lashing smashing hunk of a man,
D#A#
your sweat shined sweet and strong
D#7A#Cm
Your organʼs working perfectly, but thereʼs a part
G#F7
thatʼs not screwed on
A#F7A#F7A#F7A#F7A#D#A#
Werenʼt you at the Coke Convention back in nineteen sixty five
Youʼre the misbred grey executive Iʼve seen heavily advertised
A#D#A#
Youʼre the great grey man whose daughter licks policemenʼs buttons clean
D#A#
Youʼre the man who squats behind the man
CmG#A#
who works the soft machine
DmCmD#A#
Come now, gentlemen, your love is all I crave
DmCmD#
Youʼll still be in the circus when Iʼm laughing,
A#
laughing in my grave
A#D#7A#
Well remember who you say you are but keep your noses clean
A#D#A#
Boys will be boys and play with toys. So be strong with your beast
A#D#A#
Oh Rosie dear, donʼcha think itʼs queer. So stop me if you please
D#7A#
The babyʼs dead, my lady said.
CmG#A#
You gentlemen will you all work for me
A#D#7A#
When the old men do all the fighting and the young men all look on
A#D#A#
And the young girls eat their motherʼs meat from tubes of plasticon
A#D#A#
Be wary of these my gentle friends of all the skin you breed
D#7A#
To have that tasty habit,
CmG#A#
itʼs not the hands that bleed
