D                 F#m  Bm
Saw you coming my way
                  A  D
Put my nose in a book
                    F#m   Bm
Some crap that you gave me
                     A  D
Or something that I took

                    A  D
Man, he looked so good
                   G
It had to be ooze leather
He's so together
                     A   D
Oozing like I never could

Chorus:
               D
I bet he's a classic masher
                       G
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
                               A            D
They talk boots while they're laughing at you

He’s playing dumb, you’re looking at clothes,
straightening his hat
Mr. Shnook ho-hum, I shoulda shook his hand
I never used to feel bad, never felt so blue
Guess I never amused you

Chorus:
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you

               A
I bet he's a classic masher
                       G
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
                               A            D F#m Bm
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
                               A             D
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
                          F#m            Bm
(talk boots while they're laughing at you)
                               A             D
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
                          F#m            Bm
(talk boots while they're laughing at you)
                               A             D
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
                          F#m            Bm
(talk boots while they're laughing at you)
                               A            D G A D
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
