Baby's in the kitchen on the big black trombone

Everybody laughs when the band goes too slow
A5             G5            A5       G5
Meeting every Tuesday in a club in Soho

Well, he says he got a girl and a paper memory

Pictures on the wall and a dog named Henry

Well, Ella's in the band but she's always solo
E5   E5
      E5                              A5

E5   E5
A5              G5            A5         G5
Banging on the drums like a big white throwback

Screaming all the while at her husband, poor Jack!

Well I'm just waiting on pigs to fly

As be your dog and your one man show
