Verse 2: 
 
      G5     G5       Eb5        Bb5 
      My Amazon six-triggered bride 
      ( Bb5 )                 C5       G5 
      Now searching for a place to hide 
      ( G5 )         G5         Eb5  Bb5 
      Still sees truth quite easily 
      ( Bb5 )                C5  G5 
      Shrouds all else in mystery 
             C5    Eb5        G5 
      While madmen     in top    hats and tails 
      C5             Eb5      G5 
         Impale themselves on    six inch nails 
           Bb5    G5      C5   G5 
      And some Arabian   also-ran 
      Bb5         G5        C5      G5 
         Impersonates a   watering can 
 
      {repeat intro w/full band after each verse} 
 
Verse 2: 
 
      Some Santa Claus-like face of note 

      Entreats my ears to set afloat 

      My feeble, sick, and weary brain 

      And I am overcome with shame 

      And hide inside my overcoat 

      And hurriedly begin to quote 

      And some Arabian   sheik most grand 

      Impersonates a   hot dog stand 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
      (guitar solo over verse chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
      Red Cross ambulance outside 

      Could only mean that I must hide 

      'Til dusk and finally the night 

      When I will make a hasty flight 

      Across the sea and far away 

      To where the weary exiles stay 

      And some Arabian   oil well 

      Impersonates a   padded cell 
 
Coda: 
           Bb5   G5       C5   G5 
      And some Arabian   oil well 
      Bb5         G5       C5      G5 
         Impersonates a   padded cell
