Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone
Gm F
preacher from the east
Bb Am
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
Gm F
that's where they expect it least"
Bb Am
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,

watching the young girls dance
Bb Am
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,
Gm F
reminding him of romance!!
