C                            Fm     + Figure 2
  With their gramophones and rifles
C                       Fm            + Figure 2
  And an awful cloud is daring to pour
C                     F           F7    (G5)   C   Fm
  Such a wild scene a 3-D picture bible story
 
Verse 2:
 
C                          Fm                 + Figure 2
  And the floats of tinsel garland are downed
C                           Fm           + Figure 2
  Stalled for blocks on the parade route
C                         Fm                 + Figure 2
  But the majorette still twirls in the rain
C                            F
  And the marching band goes soaking wet
    F7       (G5) C
And that's a fine how

C                         Fm                 + Figure 2
  See the ladies in their queen union suits
C                         Fm     + Figure 2
  Shuffling gaily for the camera
C                           Fm                 + Figure 2
  Doing high kicks in their felt button boots
C                          F               F7 (G5)  C  Fm
  While the men puff their cigarettes from Panama
 
Verse 4:
 
C                        Fm
  Like the baby dolls of bisque on display
C                      Fm
  In the shops of Barcelona
C                                Fm
  There's a blankness that falls over his face
C                          F            F7  (G5)
  As the speaker makes his way up to the podium
C                         Fm
  Could he be so blind to sip lemonade
C                          F
  In such a dire time well that's a fine

C         D7             F     F7  (G5)
  Holding hostage in the opium dens
C          D7                F        F7  (G5)
  That are tucked behind the alleyway
C           D7           F         F7  (G5)
  Where the corridors of Amsterdam bend
C            D7                F                 F7   (G5)
  'Neath the windows where the harlots pose like mannequins
C        D7                F         F7  (G5)   C
  No one thinks of them on Valentines    (do ya do)
           D7               F
There's no chocolate box or cards to read
    F7       (G5) C
And that's a fine how
