C D
I put on my raincoat to make it rain
Em D
and sure enough the skies opened up again
C D
I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops,
Bm Em
you were dancing with the wallies on Top of the Pops
C C/B D
once in a while
C C/B D
Gennady Gerasimov drops his smile
C D
and you can see that his aim's
Bm Em
a portfolio pregnant with gains
C C/B D

C C/B Am G
moving the goalposts
Bm
like a jackdaw with a fiery brand,
Em
spread the news all over this land
Am
robin hood and his merry men
D
are never never never coming back again

C D Bm Em
don't get dressed yet not yet
C C/B D
we've been up all night
