G
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
G C
Jumped off the roof today
C G
Some say he fell but I could tell
D7 G
He did himself away
G
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
G C
We played checkers on the train
C G
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
D7 G
But he's a dead cat just the same
Chorus:
C G
We are living in the future
C G
I'll tell you how I know
C G
I read it in the paper
D7 G
Fifteen years ago
C G
We're all driving rocket ships
C G
And talking with our minds
C G
And wearing turquoise jewelry
D7 G
And standing in soup lines
D7 G
We are standing in soup lines
G
Jake the barber's lonely daughter
G C
Went down to her daddy's shop
C G
She plugged herself to a barber pole
D7 G
And took a little off the top
G
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
G C
Pressure in the middle of the hole
C G
I'm goin' to Maine on a forty foot crane
D7 G
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole
Repeat Chorus:
G
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
G C
At the all night picture show
C G
Where they grind out sex and they rate it with an "X"
D7 G
Just to make a young man's pants grow
G
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
G C
Screaming the posters out on the street
C G
Strangling the curious and the weak
D7 G
We give them what they wanna see
D7 G
Yeah we give 'em what they wanna see - O
Repeat Chorus:
