D5                                              A5
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms 
C5                                                        G5
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms 
D5                                                   A5
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door 
C5                                                  G5
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more 

G5           C5
Back for more 
C5            A5   G5
Back for mo-ore
                    C5           G5
Oh, she was back for more
C5                       A5                D5
Some more? yes please, some more

D5                                                    A5
Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat sock demi god 
C5                                                         G5
Her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod 
D5                                                         A5
Her front porch gave way beneath the classified weight 
C5                                                                   G5
And when the ambulance came they said it's much too late 

G5                         C5
Oh, it's much too late
C5                          A5          G5
Oh, it's much too, much too late
            C5             G5
Oh, it's much too late
C5                     A5         D5
How late? Very late, too late

             D5                                             A5
Now the people of New Guinea and the people of LA 
                 C5                                           G5
Have been pen pals for years cause they both hate ballet
              D5                                              A5
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway 
            C5                                   G5
But the news bulletin claims it's gonna be ok 
               D5                                                A5
Now Miss Lucy had a sweatshop where the immigrants worked 
                    C5                                                   G5
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the twelve o'clock stroke 
               D5                               A5
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X 
                              C5                       G5
That was when the alien geraniums demanded the facts 

G5                    C5
No violence of course
C5                  A5                  G5
No violence, no violence, of course
C5                          G5
Hey, no violence, of course
C5                 A5            D5
Off course? Why yes, of course 

D5                                               A5
Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long 
C5                                   G5
The TV gets quiet as we hear a real bad song 
D5                                                 A5
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue 
                     C5                                G5
And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs 
                    D5                                  A5
And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods 
                    C5                                 G5
And there's a back of a truck selling game show hosts 
                     D5                                      A5
And there's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead
                     C5                                 G5
And there's a back of a truck selling crumb free bread
                     D5                                       A5
And there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car 
                     C5                             G5        
And there's a back of a car selling roadway maps
                     D5                                      A5
And there are roadway maps selling the back of a head 
D5                                                  C5
Hey, how much for that back of a head, man? 
G5                                     D5
Hey wait a minute, that's my back of a head
A5 
Hey you can't sell that man
          C5
That's my back of a head
                C5
Hey sell it back to me man
         G5
Sell it back to me 
                        D5                          A5
Hey it's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-m-mine

D5                                              A5 
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms 
C5                                                        G5
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms 
D5                                                   A5
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door 
C5                                                     G5
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
