G
He sits down and rolls his tongue in his mouth

They get up and start rolling around

He puts his arm on her and they walk out
D Em G
And I sit and watch and write everything down

One Toulouse

Oh sweet relief

We have the makers and the movers
C
The lifeguards and the gardeners who are

Killing time like beer

Spilling on his paper
Am
The old boys with the new girls

The lovers with the half-pipes
G D
And the solos, the wolves, the men

Like Toulouse, oh Toulouse

Short and funny-looking
Em C
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
G D
Tendency for absinthe
Am C
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse

One Toulouse
