C                                                         F
Well I remember all the good times me and Miller enjoyed, up and down the M1 in some luminous 
yo-yo toy

Oh, look out Lennon, here I come, land ahoy-hoy-hoy

G                                              F             C
Don't walk slow, put on a big show, shove your meat down vegetarians

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts, my head's full of ulcers
                              F
I got lungs full of butts, my heart wants a transplant

It thinks that I'm nuts, my logic won't open, my eyes won't shut
          G                                                    C
And I'm beginning to dig all this, being an All American Alien Boy


[Verse 6]
C
And your women are always right, they always know so much more
         F
'Cos the women came from heaven and the men came outta some store
         G
And they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for

Well I'm an All American Alien Boy, look out Mary Tyler Moore
