B A
There's a tramp sitting on my doorstep
F# E
Trying to waste his time
B A
With his mentholated sandwich
F# E
He's a walking clothes line
B A
And here comes the bishop's daughter
F# E
On the other side
B A
And she looks a trifle jealous
F# E
She's been an outcast all her life
F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
A B
Lying on the floor
A
I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle
B
Before it rains anymore
B A
Oh the ganster looks so frightening
F# E
With his blue gun in his hand
B A
When he gets home to his children
F# E
He's a family man
B A
When it comes to the minnie grinnies
F# E
He can shove in his knife
B A
Yes he really looks quite religious
F# E
He's been an outlaw all his life
F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
A B
Lying on the floor
A
I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle
B
Before it rains anymore
F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
A B
Lying on the floor
A
I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle
B
Before it rains anymore
B A
Oh the singer looks angry
F# E
At being thrown to the lions
B A
And the base player he looks nervous
F# E
About the girls outside
B A
And the drummer he is so shattered
F# E
Trying to keep on time
B A
And the guitar players look damaged
F# E
They have been outcasts all their lives
F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
A B
Lying on the floor
A
I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle
B
Before it rains anymore
B A
Oh there are twenty thousand grandma`s
F# E
Waving hankies in the air
B A
Throwing up their pensions,
F# E
And shouting, it`s not fair
B A
There is a reggiment of soldiers
F# E
Standing, looking on
B A
And the Queen is bravelly shouting
F# E
What the hell, is going on
B A
With a blood curling Tally-hoo
F# E
She charged in to the ranks
B A
And blasted all those Grandmas
F# E
Whith their dieing breath screamed thanks
F#
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
A B
Lying on the floor
A
I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle
B
Before it rains anymore
