[Verse 1]

D                       A
Albert is smart, he's a genius
Bm                   E            A
Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius
E7                                N.C.
Someday he will reassess the world
E7                                    N.C.
And he'll still have time for lots of girls

[Verse 2]

D                      A
When he grows up he'll remember us
Bm                           E                   A
When he grows up we are sure that he'll remember us
E7                                   N.C.
We made sure that Albert wore his mac
E7
We kept all the strangers off his back

[Bridge]

 D*
(Go away) everything's relative
 D*
(Go away Albert's mother does say to me) we are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives

[Chorus]

D5             C#5
Talent is an asset
       D5                C#5    A5
You've got to understand that
D5             C#5
Talent is an asset
    D5                C#5    A5
And little Albert has it
D5             C#5
Talent is an asset
    D5                C#5
And Albert surely has it

[Verse 3]

D                              A
One day he'll sever his apron strings
Bm                        E                  A
All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things
E7                              N.C.
Look at Albert, isn't he a sight
E7
Growing, growing at the speed of light

(Go away Albert's mother does say to me) we are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives

[Chorus]

D5             C#5
Talent is an asset
    D5                C#5    A5
And little Albert has it

[Outro]

 D*
(Go away) talent is relative
 D*
(Go away) that's hypothetical
 D*
(Go away) we are his relatives
 D*
(Go away) that's parenthetical
 D*
(Go away) spare your superlatives
 D*
(Go away) there's the receptacle
 D*
(Go away) there's the receptacle
 D*
(Go away) leave Albert's study room
 D*
(Go away) leave Albert's happy home

(Go away) leave Albert's continent
 D*
(Go away) leave Albert's hemisphere
 D*
(Go away) leave Albert's planet, too
 D*
(Go away) leave Albert's universe
 D*
(Go away) no one must see him now
 D*
(Go away) only the medical
 D*
(Go away) no one must downgrade him
 D*
(Go away) don't be too cynical
 D*
(Go away) don't be too critical
 D*
(Go away) cancel the magazines
 D*
(Go away) they're much too political
 D*
(Go away) don't buy him any jeans
 D*
(Go away) they're much too casual
 D*
(Go away) talent is relative
 D*
(Go away) that's hypothetical
 D*
(Go away) we are his relatives
 D*
(Go away) that's parenthetical
