Intro:      F5 F5 D5 G5 C5 C5 
       
F5                 G5 
Your multilingual     business friend 
Bb5                     F5 
Has packed her bags and fled 
F5                       G5 
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays 
        Bb5               F5 
And the lipsticked unmade bed 
     D5          G5 
The mirror, a reflection 
     F5                   C5 
Has climbed back upon the wall 
F5                          G5 
For the floor she found descended 
Bb5                     F5 
And the ceiling was too tall 
 

       F5                Bb5 
Your trouser cuffs are dirty 
           G5                  C5 
And your shoes are laced up wrong 
       A5                   D5      F5 
You'd better take off your homburg 
             Bb5              F5 
'Cause your overcoat is too long  

(Intro) 
 

F5                      G5 
The town clock in the market square 
Bb5                    F5 
Stands waiting for the hour 
F5                              G5 
When its hands they won't turn backwards 
        Bb5           F5 
And on meeting will devour 
     D5            G5 
Both themselves and also any fool 
     F5               C5 
Who dares to tell the time? 
F5                          G5 
And the sun and moon will shatter 
Bb5                       F5 
And the signposts cease to sign
