C
You said you seen one like it,

And she hasn't named her cat,

And you think she's cute like that,
C
And it reminds you of that scene,
G
In Breakfast At Tiffany's
Em
And is she Holly Golightly,
D
Or is she Lula Mae,
C
Yeh, You don't really know,
G
And she can't really say,
Em
Yeh she's a nineteen fifties girl,
D
But you're a wannabe fifties boy,

Give her fifty for the powder room,

And all you'll get is a smile,
