 Add a touch of blue blood,

If it could only come true, you know, you know.

 Big e-nough to take the world and all it's got.

Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more,

What re-ligion you choose, no, no no, ooh.

You know that livin' could be tasteful,
                                D
We should all get together in a lovin' machine,
G                     A
 I better call up the Queen,
                                   A7
It's only fair that she knows, you know, you know.
