Cos down in the fleshpots
           D (xx0232@1)        AWhere (x02220@1)they pay you in pounds

They're laughing like drains

DOnce (xx0232@1)I knew a girl
               DmThat (xx0231@1)looked so much like Judy Garland
     AThat (x02220@1)people would stop and give her money
D (xx0232@1)                          Dm (xx0231@1) And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby

                     D (xx0232@1)    AYou (x02220@1)know my love and how to refuse it

Cause you know where the door is
