    Biograph

The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
    E                           A    E
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
    E                A             E
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
        E           A          E
But the town has no need to be nervous

The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce

A
Mama's in the fact'ry
          E
She ain't got no shoes
A
Daddy's in the alley
     E
He's lookin' for food
A
I'm in the kitchen *)
                   E
With the tombstone blues
