    The Various Assortments

D5
Sweet Lisa running down the alleyway
Bb5               G5
left her husband stranded on the motorway
D5
took the cheque book, left him with the bills to pay
Bb5                 G5
says she'll send a postcard home by Saturday

A5            C5                    D5
Sweet Lisa - it's so nice to meet ya
A5            C5                   D5
Sweet Lisa - supermarket sweeper

crossed the bridge and then she finally got away
ain't gonna make it into work today
accomodating now she's got a place to stay
don't mind cos she'll just take it anyway

Sweet Lisa - no one tried to teach her
Sweet Lisa - high on carpet cleaner

she's got a new friend, doesn't treat her anyway
sold him down the markey for a clean shtray
all the dealers crawling in the alleyway
don't mind whichever way she wants to pay and pay

(oh while you're down there, they say)
oh Sweet Lisa - stick this in the meter
Sweet Lisa - fifty pence pizza

her teeth are made of pure amphetamine
she built a home with rock cocaine and nicotine
now she's shooting up on nitro-glycerine
washed with soap just to make it fluff up nice and clean

Sweet Lisa - no one ever beat her
Sweet Lisa - Kings Cross to Ibiza

Sweet Lisa's got no credit on her phone
she sold her car for a ten pound bag of silicone
Sweet Lisa says she feels ninteen again
like the Duke Of York, she had ten thousand men
