Verse 1:
C F
Pale, pubescent beasts,
G
Roam through the streets,
Am
And coffee-shops,
Dm7 F
Their prey gather in herds,
Eb
Of stiff knee-length skirts,
C#
And white ankle-socks.
C Am
But while they search for a mate,
G
My type hiber-nate,
Am
In bedrooms a-bove,
D7 F G C
Com-posing their songs of love.
Verse 2:
C F
Young, uniform minds,
G
In uniform lines,
Am
And uniform ties,
Dm7
Run round,
F
With trousers on fire,
Eb
And signs of de-sire,
C#
They cannot dis-guise.
C F
While I try to find words,
G
As light as the birds,
Am
That circle a-bove,
D7 F G C
To put in my songs of love.
Bridge 1:

Fate doesn't hang,

On a wrong or right choice,

Fortune de-pends,
C G
On the tone of your voice.

So sing while you have time,

Let the sun shine,

Down from a-bove;

And fill you with songs of love.
