Fmaj9 Fmaj7 B B7
Soon there wasn't room e...nough for her,
Cadd9 C A7sus4 A7 Dsus4
in between the bosoms of her family!
D#dim(h) Emadd9 Em Asus4 A Dsus4 D
She popped the cork, got on the 'Greyhound' to New York;

Serve up the rats and super rats!
Fmaj9 Fmaj7 B B7 Em E7 Am
Well they just get fatter while she fades a...way!
