G
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
GC
Jumped off the roof today
CG
Some say he fell but I could tell
D7G
He did himself away
G
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
GC
We played checkers on the train
CG
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
D7G
But he's a dead cat just the same
Chorus:
CG
We are living in the future
CG
I'll tell you how I know
CG
I read it in the paper
D7G
Fifteen years ago
CG
We're all driving rocket ships
CG
And talking with our minds
CG
And wearing turquoise jewelry
D7G
And standing in soup lines
D7G
We are standing in soup lines
G
Jake the barber's lonely daughter
GC
Went down to her daddy's shop
CG
She plugged herself to a barber pole
D7G
And took a little off the top
G
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
GC
Pressure in the middle of the hole
CG
I'm goin' to Maine on a forty foot crane
D7G
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole
Repeat Chorus:
G
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
GC
At the all night picture show
CG
Where they grind out sex and they rate it with an "X"
D7G
Just to make a young man's pants grow
G
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
GC
Screaming the posters out on the street
CG
Strangling the curious and the weak
D7G
We give them what they wanna see
D7G
Yeah we give 'em what they wanna see - O
Repeat Chorus:
