A Campaign Of Shock And Awe

Evelyn Evelyn


Tom: Em

   G
Behold, the eighth wonder of the natural world!
     G#
Come one and come all, see the two-headed girl
    G
Stupendous! Revolting!
You’ll be shocked, you’ll be awed!
   G#
A true freak of nature, a blunder of God!
     G
But possessing such talents
Hear them sing, see them dance
    G#
As seen in the highest class parlors of France
      G
Just ten bucks a photograph
Get your seats while they last
        G#
We take Visa and MasterCard, debit or cash

[Chorus]
G
Isn’t it nice that they’re being so nice to us?
G#
If I’m not mistaken I think they might like us
           G
Aren’t we lucky to be here?
Stop moving, they’re taking a picture
G#*
Smile for the camera, Evelyn

[Verse 2]
      G
Come in, come in, must be cold out there gentlemen
 G#
Take off your coats, and just guess what the wind blew in
   G
I know you like twins, have I got a surprise
          G#
They’re identical sisters attached at the side
       G
Just imagine the fun you could have with these chicklets
And they’re so well-behaved, not a single complaint yet
Just look at these photographs, while I pour you a cocktail
         G#
I don’t know whether I should charge double or triple!

[Chorus]
G
Isn’t it nice that they’re being so nice to us?
G#
If I’m not mistaken I think they might like us
           G
Aren’t we lucky to be here?
Stop moving, they’re taking a picture
G#*
Smile for the camera, Evelyn

[Verse 3]
 G
Ladies and gentlemen, critics and hipsters
          G#
Have you heard the new disc by the Evelyn sisters?
             G
Seamlessly floating with grace between eras and genres
           G#
They sing timeless new songs, rife with double entendres
    G                                                   G#
As featured in Rolling Stone, Spin, The New Yorker and Pitchfork (Pitchfork!)
           G
There’s an in-store appearance today at the corner
    G          G#             A          A#          B          C#           D
Of Bedford and Seventh Ave., some get a photograph, sticker and autographed shirt

[Chorus]
G
Isn’t it nice that they’re being so nice to us?

           G
Aren’t we lucky to be here?
Stop moving, they’re taking a picture
