G         C     G        C
Hey bus driver keep the change
G           Bm       C         G
bless your children give them names
D      Am            D         Am
Don't trust men who walk with canes
 Em                     C
Drink this and you'll grow wings on your feet

Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine
advertiser on a downtown train
Chistmas crier bustin' cane,
he's in love again

       Em
Where dock worker's dreams
          C
mix with panther's schemes to
 D      C        G
someday own the rodeo
Em                C
Tainted women in Vistavision
             G                        C    D
perform for out-of-state kids at the late show

Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps,
interstellar mongrel nymphs
Oh, Rex said that lady left him limp,
love's like that (It sure is)

Oh, queen of diamonds, ace of spades,
newly discovered lovers of the everglades
They take out a full page ad in
the trades to announce their arrival

And Mary Lou she found out how to cope,
she rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
She says, "Man, the dope's that there's still hope"

Senorita, Spanish rose,
wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem she throws
a rose to some lucky, young matador
