If my Cfriends could see me now, driving C6round just like a film star, In a C7chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would Glaugh.

If my Cfriends could see me now, looking C6out my hotel window, Dressed in C7satin strides and two-tone daisy Froots. FIf my friends could Csee me now I Dm7know they would Csmile.
