   G                       C
I saw her today at the reception
G                       C
A glass of wine in her hand
   G                               C
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
        G                     C
And her feet was a foot-loose man

I went down to demonstration to get my fair share of abuse
       G                           C
Singing we gonna vent our frustration
       G                             C
If we don't we gonna blow a fifty amp fuse

     G                        C

I was standing in line with Mr Jimmy
     G                     C
And man did he look pretty ill
     G                           C
We decide that we would have a soda
G                          C
My favorite flavor, cherry red
        G            C
I song my song to Mr Jimmy
        G                                C
And he said one word to me and that was dead

     G                        C
