B    F#          B       G               B
As fluorescents do They blink o'er the floor
        D        F#         E
Of her majestic halls They do
B       F#        B     G              D
I hear surf on kazoo I march with the militia of
     B
the mime
   D               G      F#
Malicious are the times Malicious

In the doors we all flew
To see the great indoors
Of her majestic stalls
Yeah, we flew
Waves break on the shore of the zoo
And I see how Laurasia sure has changed
Imaginary planes
Imagine

Chorus:
E          F#             B
I hit the mall on every Friday
C#m          D#m            F#
When it was biggest in the world -
The hostest
