Verse 2: 
 
        Gm     G       Eb        Bb 
        My Amazon six-triggered bride 
        (Bb)                 Cm       Gm 
        Now searching for a place to hide 
        (Gm)         G         Eb  Bb 
        Still sees truth quite easily 
        (Bb)                Cm  Gm 
        Shrouds all else in mystery 
               Cm    Eb7        Gm 
        While madmen     in top    hats and tails 
        Cm             Eb7      Gm 
           Impale themselves on    six inch nails 
             Bb    Gm      Cm   Gm 
        And some Arabian   also-ran 
        Bb         Gm        Cm      Gm 
           Impersonates a   watering can

Verse 2: 
 
        Some Santa Claus-like face of note 
        Entreats my ears to set afloat 
        My feeble, sick, and weary brain 
        And I am overcome with shame 
        And hide inside my overcoat 
        And hurriedly begin to quote 
        And some Arabian   sheik most grand 
        Impersonates a   hot dog stand 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
        (guitar solo over verse chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
        Red Cross ambulance outside 
        Could only mean that I must hide 
        'Til dusk and finally the night 
        When I will make a hasty flight 
        Across the sea and far away 
        To where the weary exiles stay 
        And some Arabian   oil well 
        Impersonates a   padded cell 
 
Coda:

        Bb         Gm       Cm      Gm 
           Impersonates a   padded cell
