I have a sister in To-ronto,

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Separates me from,

The in-credibly fascinating,
Am
Story of your life,
Am/maj Am7
And every day to day event,
Am6
In all it's minute,
Am D7
And tedious at-tention to detail...
G
And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday?
C
Or, oh, no, it wasn't though.
Oh, who cares anyway,
C+
Because I do not,
Am7
So Norman if you're normal,
I intend to be a freak,
D7
For the rest of my life.
And I shall baffle you,
G Bm/F#
With cabbages and rhinoceroses,
Em
In the kitchen,
Bm/F#
Incessant quotations,
G Bm/F#
From "Now We Are Six",
Through the mouthpiece,
Em
Of Lord Snooty's,
Bm/F# G Bm/F#
Giant poisoned e-lectric head.
Em Bm/F#
So there......
