Leo^Gpold Alcocks, my di^E7stant re - l^Am7ation, C^D7ame to my flat, for a brief visi - ta^Gtion, ^D7He's ^Gbeen here since Februa - ^E7ry, damn and b^Am7last him, My ne^D7rves, and my furniture, may not out - l^Gast h^Gim! ^ ^

Le^Copold A^Bm7lcocks is ac^Am7cident p^Bm7rone, ^E7He's lost my ba^Am7thplug, he's rup^D7tured my te^Glephone, ^D7 ^CMy anti - rr^Bm7hinums, my mo^Am7torbikes, my ^Bm7sofa, Th^E7ere isn't an^Am7ything ^D7he can't trip ^Go - v^Ger! ^ ^

^G ^D7 As he ro^Gams through my rooms, all my pus^E7sycats sc^Am7atter, My stat^D7uettes tremble, then plummet, then s^Ghatter, ^D7My tablel^Gamps tumble with g^E7rim regu - l^Am7arity, My ^D7cut-glass has crumbled, and so has my ch^Gari - ^Gty! ^ ^

Leo^Cpold Al^Bm7cocks, an u^Am7ncanny c^Bm7reature, ^E7He can't take ^Am7tea without s^D7ome misad - ve^Gnture, (Ddim) C Bm7 Am7 Bm7 He looks up from his teacup, with a smirk on his features, And a s^E7lice of my po^Am7rcelain bet^D7ween his den^Gtures!

^G ^D7 He's up^Gset my goldfish, he's ji^E7nxed my wis - t^Am7eria, My b^D7udgie's gone broody, my tortoise has hys - t^Geria, ^D7 ^GHe cleans my teapots, my sa^E7ucepans, with 'B^Am7rasso', And le^D7aves chocolate fingerprints on my Pi - c^Gas - ^Gso! ^ ^

Le^Copold A^Bm7lcocks, ^Am7never known to ^Bm7fail, Wor^E7king his ^Am7way through my f^D7ake 'Chippen - d^Gales', One b^Clow from his t^Bm7highs, which are fe^Am7arsomely s^Bm7trong, Would ea^E7sily fr^Am7acture the w^Ding of a s^Gwan!

^G ^D7 I br^Gought home my bird for some Tu^E7rkish mous - ^Am7saka, ^D7Up looms old Leopold, I know when I'm kna^Gckered, ^D7 ^GHe spills the vino, the g^E7reat eager b^Am7eaver, Dren^D7ching her jump-suit, and my 'joie de vi^Gvre'!

Leo^Cpold Al^Bm7cocks, sti^Am7rring my s^Bm7pleen, ^E7You are the ^Am7grit in my l^D7ife's 'Vasel -^Gine', A p^Cox on you, Al^Bm7cocks, you've ^Am7been here since F^Bm7eb'ry, ^E7Go home, and l^Am7eave me a - ^D7lone with my de^Gbris!

So Leo^Gpold Alcocks, my di^E7stant re - la^Am7tion, Has g^D7one away home, after his visi - ta^Gtion, ^D7 ^GI glimpsed him waving bye -^E7bye this last m^Am7inute, Wa^D7ving his hand, with my door knob still ^Gin ^Git! ^ ^
