I Left My Heart In Papworth General

E    A                                     E
     Precious McKenzie, boy I remember you well
A                                                    E
Gob full of tapioca, I would sit and I’d watch you excel
      A                                                E
Those legendary rivulets would trickle on down to your chin
      A                                                   E
But I always wondered what you did when you packed it all in.

C                    E
What are you doing today?
C                           F
What have you done with the money?
C                      E
How much did Singleton pay?
       C                      F            E
Do you think you were misunderstood? I do.


[Verse 2]

A                                          E
Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ
  A                                E
I said “Hey albino, this is not 1972
     A                                                    E
Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee
    A                                                  E
And melt down your fingerware and get yourself off my TV”.

C                        E
Jim could you fix it for me
   C                           F
To come down and suck out your kidneys?
     C                          E
I’ve got this young brother you see
    C                            F     C
Who wants to stay alive to watch Bilko.

[Bridge]

         C            F
When I’m pining for a cigarette
  C                          F
I think of all the free ones that I’d get
     C                 F              G     G7
If I killed myself and came back as a beagle.
