   E
(1)standing on the dock in southampton
(2)finally made the plane into paris
(3)paris to the amsterdam hilton
(4)made a lighting trip to vienna
(5)caught the early plane back to london

trying to get to holland or france
honeymooning down on the siene
talking in our beds for a week
eating chocolate cake in a bath
fifty acorns tied in a sack

          E7
      the man in the mac said youve got to go back
peter brown called to say you can make it ok
      the newspapers said say what you doing in bed
      the newspapers said shes gone to his head
      the men from the press said we wish you success

you know they didnt even give us a chance
you can get married in gibralter near spain
i said were only tring get us some peace
they look just like to gurus in drag
its good to have the both of you back

bridge
A
saving up your money for a rainy day
giving all your clothes to charity
lastnight the wife said oh boy when youre dead
B7
dont take nothing with you but your soul    think?
