Something for the girl with ev'rything ... (N.C.)
(A)
See, the writing's on the wall
(A)                   (Am)
You bought the girl a wall
(A)                    (D7)
Complete with matching ballpoint pen
(B)                     (Bm)
You can breathe another day
(B)               (D)       (E)        (A) 
Secure in knowing she won't break you (yet)

Something for the girl with ev'rything... (N.C.)

(idem)
Have another sweet, my dear
Don't try to talk, my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Here's a flavour you ain't tried
You shouldn' try to talk, your mouth is full

Something for the girl with ev'rything ...

(E7)
Three wise men are here, three wise men are here
(A)                  (Bm)(A) 
Bearing the gifts to aid amnesia
(E7)
She knows ev'rything, she knows ev'rything
(A)                   (Bm)    (E)      (A) 
She knew you way back when you weren't yourself

Something for the girl with ev'rything ...(N.C.)

(Idem, see verse 1 & 2)
Here's a really pretty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engine's really loud
Nobody's gonna hear a thing you say

Something for the girl with ev'rything ...

Three wise men are here, three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere, leave them anywhere
Make sure that there's a clear path to the door

Guitar solo over: A///////+A///////+Am////A///+D///////+B///////+B///////+D///+E///A

Something for the girl with everything ....
(A)
Something for the girl with everything ....
(B)
Something for the girl with everything ....
(D)
Something for the girl with everything ....

(E)
Three wise men are here, three wise men are here
Three wise men are here, three wise men are here

(See verse 1 & 2)
Here's a partridge in a tree, 
A gard'ner for the tree
Complete with ornithologist!
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no!

(Whispered, N.C.): 
Something for the girl
Who's got ev'rything, yes ev'rything...

(Idem)
Hey, come out and say hello
Before our friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see, of late she's been quite speechless,
(D)  (E)         (D)       (E)  (A)   
Very speechless: she's got ev'rything!
