Intro:  G5  D5  G5  D5

G5  
Men made out of monkeys
D5
Men made into mice
G5
Happy days are here again
    F5                   D5
And all the drinks half price
  C5           A5          E5         C5   E5    B5
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling
E5                             B5
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling

Chorus:
E5                             E5
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
A5                               F5
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
        C5            F5  C5
In that charm school
G5
You and I as lovers
     D5
Were nothing but a farce
G5
Trying to make a silk purse
F5              D5
Out of a sow's arse
C5           A5
Saying 'Why don't you watch me'
E5              C5
Hardly speaking sotto voce

**Chorus
E5
I've got a notion
E5
I've got an angle
A5
Take your dreams and promises
A5
And put them through the mangle
D5
They say it's hell to finance too
                           G5  G5
And I just want to romance you
G5
In this perpetual nightclub
D5
I'll be yours eternal
G5
Though the hours are long
F5               D5
And the noise infernal
C5                 A5               E5
Just one shameful act or sometimes two
        C5                    E5
We make believe we're making do
**Chorus
