Verse 1:

F G7/F

Your multilingual business friend

Bb/F F

Has packed her bags and fled

F G7/F

Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays

Bb/F F

And the lipsticked unmade bed

Dm Gm

The mirror, a reflection

F/C C

Has climbed back upon the wall

F G7/F

For the floor she found descended

Bb/F F

And the ceiling was too tall

Chorus:

F Bb

Your trouser cuffs are dirty

G C

And your shoes are laced up wrong

A7 Dm F/C

You'd better take off your homburg

Bb F

'Cause your overcoat is too long

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

The town clock in the market square

Stands waiting for the hour

When its hands they won't turn backwards

And on meeting will devour

Both themselves and also any fool

Who dares to tell the time

And the sun and moon will shatter

And the signposts cease to sign

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro; fade]
