[Verse 1]
AShe came in through the bathroom Dwindow,
AProtected F#mby a silver Dspoon.
ABut now she F#msucks her thumb and Dwonders,
By the D7banks of her own lagoon.
[Chorus 1]
ADidn't anybody tell Dmher?
ADidn't anybody see? Dm
G7Sunday's on the phone to MonCday
G7Tuesday's on the phone to me C
[Verse 2]
AShe said she'd always been a Ddancer
AShe worked at F#mfifteen clubs a Dday
AAnd though she th-F#mought I knew the Danswer
Well, I D7knew but I could not say
[Verse 3]
AAnd so I quit the police Ddepartment
AAnd got my-F#mself a proper Djob
AAnd though she th-F#mought I knew the Danswer
She could D7steal, but she could not Arob
[Chorus 2 & Coda]
ADidn't anybody t-t-tell Dmher?
ADidn't anybody see? Dm
G7Sunday's on the phone to MonCday
G7Tuesday's on the phone to me, oh Cyeah.
[End]
