[Verse 1]
F G7/F
Your multilingual business friend
Bb/F F
Has packed her bags and fled
F G7/F
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
Bb/F F
And the lipsticked unmade bed
Dm Gm
The mirror, a reflection
F/C C
Has climbed back upon the wall
F G7/F
For the floor she found descended
Bb/F F
And the ceiling was too tall
[Chorus]
F Bb
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
G C
And your shoes are laced up wrong
A7 Dm F/C
You'd better take off your homburg
Bb F
'Cause your overcoat is too long
[Interlude]
| F | F7/Eb | Dm G7/B | C C7 |
[Verse 2]
F G7/F
The town clock in the market square
Bb/F F
Stands waiting for the hour
F G7/F
When its hands they won't turn backwards
G7/F Bb/F F
And on meeting will devour
F Dm Gm
Both themselves and also any fool
Gm F/C C
Who dares to tell the time
F G7/F
And the sun and moon will shatter
Bb/F F
And the signposts cease to sign
[Chorus]
F Bb
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
G C
And your shoes are laced up wrong
A7 Dm F/C
You'd better take off your homburg
Bb F
'Cause your overcoat is too long
[Interlude]
| F | F7/Eb | Dm G7/B | C C7 |
[Chorus]
F Bb
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
G C
And your shoes are laced up wrong
A7 Dm F/C
You'd better take off your homburg
Bb F
'Cause your overcoat is too long
[Interlude]
| F | F7/Eb | Dm G7/B | C C7 |
[Chorus]
F Bb
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
G C
And your shoes are laced up wrong
A7 Dm F/C
You'd better take off your homburg
Bb F
'Cause your overcoat is too long
