G D7 G D7 | / / / | / / / | / / / | / / / | [Verse 1]
G E7 Am7 Leopold Alcocks, my distant re - lation,
D7 G Came to my flat, for a brief visi - tation,
D7 G E7 Am7 He's been here since Februa - ry, damn and blast him,
D7 G G My nerves, and my furniture, may not out - last him! ^ ^ [Verse 2]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Leopold Alcocks is accident prone,
E7 Am7 D7 G He's lost my bathplug, he's ruptured my telephone,
D7 C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 My anti - rrhinums, my motorbikes, my sofa,
E7 Am7 D7 G G There isn't anything he can't trip o - ver! ^ ^ [Verse 3]
G D7 G E7 Am7 As he roams through my rooms, all my pussycats scatter,
D7 G My statuettes tremble, then plummet, then shatter,
D7 G E7 Am7 My tablelamps tumble with grim regu - larity,
D7 G G My cut-glass has crumbled, and so has my chari - ty! ^ ^ [Verse 4]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Leopold Alcocks, an uncanny creature,
E7 Am7 D7 G He can't take tea without some misad - venture,
Ddim C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 He looks up from his teacup, with a smirk on his features,
E7 Am7 D7 G And a slice of my porcelain between his dentures! [Verse 5]
G D7 G E7 Am7 He's upset my goldfish, he's jinxed my wis - teria,
D7 G My budgie's gone broody, my tortoise has hys - teria,
D7 G E7 Am7 He cleans my teapots, my saucepans, with 'Brasso',
D7 G G And leaves chocolate fingerprints on my Pi - cas - so! ^ ^ [Verser 6]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Leopold Alcocks, never known to fail,
E7 Am7 D7 G Working his way through my fake 'Chippen - dales',
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 One blow from his thighs, which are fearsomely strong,
E7 Am7 D7 G Would easily fracture the wing of a swan! [Verse 7]
G D7 G E7 Am7 I brought home my bird for some Turkish mous - saka,
D7 G Up looms old Leopold, I know when I'm knackered,
D7 G E7 Am7 He spills the vino, the great eager beaver,
D7 G Drenching her jump-suit and my 'joie de vivre'! [Verse 8]
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Leopold Alcocks, stirring my spleen,
E7 Am7 D7 G You are the grit in my life's 'Vasel -ine',
C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 A pox on you, Alcocks, you've been here since Feb'ry,
E7 Am7 D7 G Go home and leave me a - lone with my debris! [Break]
G D7 G D7 | / / / | / / / | / / / | / / / | [Verse 9]
G E7 Am7 So Leopold Alcocks, my distant re - lation,
D7 G Has gone away home, after his visi - tation,
D7 G E7 Am7 I glimpsed him waving bye -bye this last minute,
D7 G G Waving his hand, with my door knob still in it! ^ ^ ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* Song: Leopold Alcocks - ALBUM VERB ON Artist: Jake Thackray Composer: Jake Thackray Basically the same as the live version, but abridged, and with different chords in the intro and the breaks.
