Chorus:
C          Em    Am             G
All stand back, let the people see
C       Em          Am                  G C G
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

A   Dm
Be hold the Famous Groupies
     Dm
They are alike as two peas
    Dm                        E      A
And where the other goes, the other goes
    Am
But though the famous groupies
    Bm           Em
Are only paid in Rupees
Am                                      D
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
    Am                                     G C G
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

A      Dm
There was a bongo player
    Dm
Who kept an extra layer
   Dm                 E       A
Of Dunlopillo mattress in his van (‘In his van?’)
    Am
But when the famous groupies
  Bm                     Em
Arrived with their twin snoopies
Am                                 D
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
Am                                    D
Nobody does it like a famous groupie can

Chorus

A     Dm
There was a lead guitarist
    Dm
Who lived in Epping Forest
    Dm                  E       A
And all he ever wanted was to blow
(’Lord knows why’)
    Am
But when the girls were with him
   Bm              Em
He never lost his rhythm
    Am                                      D
And nobody knows what the famous groupies know
Am                                         G
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was the classic story of a roadie
nicknamed Rory
Who used to practice voodoo on the side
But when the famous twosome suggested
something gruesome
All that they found was a crater two miles wide
Which left the music business absolutely horrified

Chorus:
All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies

Ladies and gentlemen, those magnificent
examples of female pulchritude and luminosity,
direct from their
global perambulations to the very boards of
this supremely magnificent proscenium arch
Ladies and gentlemen I give you, famous groupies!
