Lyrics

Em f em f
Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air
Em f g am
Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair
Em f em f
Then she buys the paper, I lay on my back
Em f g a
Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the cat

Chorus:
G
I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
D g
Surrounded by a cemetery
Bm a
If you get tired come up for some tea
Em bm d em
With bach, beethoven, mozart, and me

Frances is the next to rise
Powders up her nose
She's working for the tailor
Makes the western clothes
Andy drives a sports car
To the warner brothers ghost
He used to live in england
Now he loves the coast (chorus)

Some times a friend comes by
To sing the latest song
But david fights with susan
Nobody gets along
Every other sunday
It's time to make a call
Judy has a barbecue
Play the volleyball. (chorus)

In the evening when the sun goes down
The streets are all aglow
We walk out on the hillside
City shines below
We sit down for our supper
The news begins to play
Walter he is speechless
Eric speaks cliches. (chorus)

Andy plays a cricket game
Frances holds a glass
Karen reads and darns a dress
I dream of the past
Dark is spreading up now
Good evening, good night
Karen turns the bed sheet
She's turning out the light. (chorus)

(Tag)
Em am bm em
Bach, beethoven, mozart, and me
