Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 (Original Key: )

Intro

Verse 1

You who speak to me, across the fence,

 Of common sense.

  /maj

How your tomato plant will win a prize;

 Won't that be nice? and by the way... how's your wife?

 Your holidays, were spent in Spain,

 You went by train; you'll go again.

Verse 2

Have you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?

 Do you know the 'appy memory it re-calls?

  /maj

Here's a photograph of me with my son, Ted;

 That's me cousin, with his hanky on his head!

 We booked in at our 'otel just after two,

 And met a family from Bradford that we knew.

Interlude

Oooh, what melo-dy-a! (Burp!)

Chorus 1

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Separates next door from me.

/maj

My pink half of the drainpipe,

 Oh, Mama! Belongs to me!

Interlude

Sax solo

/maj, , ,

Chorus 2

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Semi-de-tach-ed, ah!

/maj

My pink half of the drainpipe,

 Oh, Mama! Belongs to moi!

Interlude

Verse 3

 I have a sister in To-ronto who's a nurse,

 And I've had a bit of bother laying turf.

  /maj

It's life, not books that taught me all I've learned,

Woop, in the b'oven, my rice pudding's getting burned!

 'Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?

 I must have the cat put down, 'cos he's ill.

Break

  Hey, neighbour!

Chorus 3

My pink half of the drainpipe,

I may paint it blue.

/maj

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Keeps me safe from you!...

Interlude

(Glockenspeil):

I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blanc-mange,

I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge.

Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates bal-loons,

  Whoops! Boodly boop! (Pop!) Here comes a spoon!

Coda

My pink half of the drainpipe,

Separates me from,

 The in-credibly fascinating story of your life,

  /maj

And every day to day event, in all it's minute,

 And tedious at-tention to detail...

 And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday?

 Or, oh, no, it wasn't though.

 Oh, who cares anyway, because I do not.

 So Norman if you're normal,

 I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life.

And I shall baffle you,

 With cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen,

 Incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six",

 Through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's,

Giant poisoned e-lectric head. So there...
