Tom: G5

Intro:  G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5

G5
There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
           G5
I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out
      C5                                      
Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
                                                 G5
'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list
D5                                    C5
Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist
G5
Strict time

Chorus:
D5                      
Toughen up, toughen up
                            C5
Keep your lip buttoned up
                   G5
Strict time
G5
Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
           G5
And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl
    G5
Strict time
C5
Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
                C5
The courting cold wars weekend witch trial
G5
Strict time
D5                                       C5
All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid
                                                          G5
The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's strict time
      G5
Strict time

**Chorus
G5
You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones
      G5
Try to look Italian through the musical Valium
      G5
Strict time
C5
Thinking of grand larceny
                                         D5
Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity
          D5
Cute assistants staying alive
C5                                 G5
More like a hand job than the hand jive
      G5
Strict time
**Chorus
