Verse 2:
Gm G Eb Bb
My Amazon six-triggered bride
(Bb) Cm Gm
Now searching for a place to hide
(Gm) G Eb Bb
Still sees truth quite easily
(Bb) Cm Gm
Shrouds all else in mystery
Cm Eb7 Gm
While madmen in top hats and tails
Cm Eb7 Gm
Impale themselves on six inch nails
Bb Gm Cm Gm
And some Arabian also-ran
Bb Gm Cm Gm
Impersonates a watering can
Verse 2:
Some Santa Claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble, sick, and weary brain
And I am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
And some Arabian sheik most grand
Impersonates a hot dog stand
Instrumental break:
(guitar solo over verse chords)
Verse 3:
Red Cross ambulance outside
Could only mean that I must hide
‘Til dusk and finally the night
When I will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell
Coda:
Bb Gm Cm Gm
And some Arabian oil well
Bb Gm Cm Gm
Impersonates a padded cell
