          A#m7
Punctured bicycle
      C#           G#
on a hill side desolate,
                             A#m7 C#
will nature make a man of me yet
             G#
when in his charming car
          A#m7   C#
this charming man
     G#
why pamper lifes complexity
when the leather runs smooth
                  A#m7 C#
on the passengers seat

           G#
I would go out tonight
                             A#m7 C#
but i havent got a stitch to wear
     G#
this man said its gruesome
                                A#m7 C#
that someone so handsome should care

Chorus:
   C#  D#              Fm7
Ah! a jumped up pantry boy
     A#             C#
who never knew his place
    A#     Fm7
he said return the ring
    C#             D#     Fm7     A#
he knows so much a-bout these things
    C#             D#     Fm7
he knows so much a-bout these things

I would go out tonight but
I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said,
"It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
Naaa nana nana nana, this charming man
Naaa nana nana nana, this charming man

Chorus:
Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said, "Return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
