D                                              Am 
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms  
C                                                        G 
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms  
D                                                   Am 
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door  
C                                                  G 
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more  

G           C 
Back for more  
C            Am   G 
Back for mo-ore 
                    C           G 
Oh, she was back for more 
C                       Am                D 
Some more? yes please, some more 

D                                                    Am 
Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat sock demi god  
C                                                         G 
Her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod  
D                                                         Am 
Her front porch gave way beneath the classified weight  
C                                                                   G 
And when the ambulance came they said it's much too late  

G                         C 
Oh, it's much too late 
C                          Am          G 
Oh, it's much too, much too late 
            C             G 
Oh, it's much too late 
C                     Am         D 
How late? Very late, too late 

             D                                             Am 
Now the people of New Guinea and the people of LA  
                 C                                           G 
Have been pen pals for years cause they both hate ballet 
              D                                              Am 
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway  
            C                                   G 
But the news bulletin claims it's gonna be ok  
               D                                                Am 
Now Miss Lucy had a sweatshop where the immigrants worked  
                    C                                                   G 
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the twelve o'clock stroke  
               D                               Am 
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X  
                              C                       G 
That was when the alien geraniums demanded the facts  

G                    C 
No violence of course 
C                  Am                  G 
No violence, no violence, of course 
C                          G 
Hey, no violence, of course 
C                 Am            D 
Off course? Why yes, of course  

D                                               Am 
Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long  
C                                   G 
The TV gets quiet as we hear a real bad song  
D                                                 Am 
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue  
                     C                                G 
And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs  
                    D                                  Am 
And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods  
                    C                                 G 
And there's a back of a truck selling game show hosts  
                     D                                      Am 
And there's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead

And there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car  
                     C                             G         
And there's a back of a car selling roadway maps 
                     D                                      Am

                C 
Hey sell it back to me man 
         G 
Sell it back to me  
                        D                          Am 
Hey it's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-m-mine 

D                                              Am  
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms  
C                                                        G 
She was the mother superior with her carry-on luggage charms  
D                                                   Am 
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door  
C                                                     G 
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
