[Intro]
|  |    |
[Verse 1]
|   |  |
It's a god-awful small affair
|  |
To the girl with the mousy hair
|   |  |
   But her mummy is yelling "No"
|  |
And her daddy has told her to go
|  |  |  |
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
|  |
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
|   |
To the seat with the clearest view
|  |
And she's hooked to the silver screen

[Pre-Chorus]
|   |  |
But the film is a saddening bore
|  |
For she's lived it ten times or more
|  |  |  |
She could spit in the eyes of fools
|  |
As they ask her to focus on

[Chorus]
|   |
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
|  |  |  |
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
|   |
It's the freakiest show
|   |
Take a look at the lawman
|  |
Beating up the wrong guy
|  |  |
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
|   |  |
   He's in the best selling show
|   |   |  |
Is there life on Mars?

[Bridge]
|   |   |   |  |

[Verse 2]
|   |  |
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
|  |
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
|  |  |  |
Now the workers have struck for fame
|  |
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
|  |  |  |
See the mice in their million hordes
|  |
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
|   |
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
|  |
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

[Pre-Chorus]
|  |  |  |
But the film is a saddening bore
|  |
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
|   |  |
It's about to be writ again
|  |
As I ask you to focus on

[Chorus]
|   |
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
|  |  |  |
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
|   |
It's the freakiest show
|   |
Take a look at the lawman
|  |
Beating up the wrong guy
|  |  |
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
|   |  |
   He's in the best selling show
|   |   |  |
Is there life on Mars?
