  Well, he says he got a girl and a paper memory

        E                              A
  She's dressed in rags and covered in dayglo
  E   E7
  A              G            A         G
  Banging on the drums like a big white throwback

  Well I'm just waiting on pigs to fly

  As be your dog and your one man show
