Found a nice little cove where nobody else goes
                       D
Took a trip 'round the Caves of Drach
               E
And said 'It's good to explore the more cultural aspects'.

Hedley Verityesque, she passed into folklore
                         D
Trod on the lines in the pavement
                     E
And said 'There's no room for enigmas in built-up areas'.

And I don't see any more, I don't see any more pent up Alsatians
                         D
They used to wait by the door
              E
And say 'It's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here'.
A                    D                      E                 A
And I don't want any more, I don't want any more stark German film noirs
                        D
And I could well do without

I'll be with Ayshea soon, be with Ayshea soon

And I don't see any more, I don't see any more big mad Alsatians
                         D
They used to wait by the door
               E
And sing 'It's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here'.

When all of the audience try to convince themselves

That what they're doing is silly but acceptable
                                    E7     A
And the only thing I can say is 'Oh Kip Keino'.
