verse 1  

E    A                                     E 
     Precious McKenzie, boy I remember you well 
A                                                    E 
Gob full of tapioca, I would sit and I’d watch you excel 
      A                                                E 
Those legendary rivulets would trickle on down to your chin 
      A                                                   E 
But I always wondered what you did when you packed it all in. 

C                    E 
What are you doing today? 
C                           F 
What have you done with the money? 
C                      E 
How much did Singleton pay? 
       C                      F            E 
Do you think you were misunderstood? I do. 


verse 2 

A                                          E 
Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ 
  A                                E 
I said “Hey albino, this is not 1972 
     A                                                    E 
Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee 
    A                                                  E 
And melt down your fingerware and get yourself off my TV”. 

C                        E 
Jim could you fix it for me 
   C                           F 
To come down and suck out your kidneys? 
     C                          E 
I’ve got this young brother you see 
    C                            F     C 
Who wants to stay alive to watch Bilko.

When I’m pining for a cigarette 
  C                          F 
I think of all the free ones that I’d get 
     C                 F              G     G7 
If I killed myself and came back as a beagle.
