Tom: Am
C G
Who killed the eskimos who understood the rules of happiness?
Am Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am Dm G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
[Verse 2]
C G
Who raped the great banana growing on the tree of happiness?
Am Dm
One point for the dark Satanic mills
Am Dm G7
One up on the noble savage
[Verse 3]
C
Everything we need is here
G
Stop trying to succeed
Am Dm
One point for the dark Satanic Mills
Am Dm G7
One down for the noble savage
[Verse 4]
C
Who owns the pop machine
G
The polyester seed?
Am Dm
Who owns the pepper mills that
Am Dm G7
Spice up the prickly cabbage?
[Chorus 1]
F C Dm Em
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
F C Dm E
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that high
F C Dm Em
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
F C Dm E
Never mind, you stupid cow , I wish you hadn't said that now
[Verse 5]
C
Down by the willow tree
G
There's nothing that could make us happier
Am Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am Dm G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
[Verse 6]
C
Stop trying to succeed
G
Stop running round your human hamster wheel
Am Dm
One point for the dark Satanic mills
Am Dm G7
One up on the noble savage
[Verse 7]
C
Who drank the pussy milk
G
Who bunged the chalk in the frigid buttercup?
Am Dm
One step up the hedonic treadmill
Am Dm G7
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
[Verse 8]
C G
And just exactly how long do we have to wait for the trees
Am Dm
To chop the Nazi axes up?
Am Dm G7
And help the frigid buttercup
[Verse 9]
C
Weep me and I'll weep you back
G
The willow seemed to say
Am Dm
Swing with the Goodiepal
Am Dm G7
Race Pat Pat off the rocks
[Chorus 2]
F C Dm Em
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
F C Dm E
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that high
F C Dm Em
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
F C Dm E
Never mind, you stupid cow , I wish you hadn't said that now
