When he was young he sang in the band
      F                            E
and his fans all fans all looked the same
      Am                Am/G
And the fans he had were younger than he
       F                   E
and they loved to scream his name
     C                      G#         C                      G#
They'd leave at the end of the third show, go home to talk of the fun
 
 
   Am                 Am/G
Well isn't it nice the parents would say,
F                      E
well isn't nice you've got someone
Am             Am/G
Someone to idolize
 F                   E
he must look twice his size
Am                      Am/G             F      E
I think it's great, you're going through a phase
Am                            Am/G          F             E  Dsus2  C  B
And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days.
 
 
Am                                 Am/G
Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off
      F                   E
but the singer remained the same
     Am                   Am/G
And he never grew tired of singing his song
  F                     E
and his fans still called his name
   C                      Am             C                   G#
They'd leave at the end of the second show, go home to talk of the fun
  Am                     Am/G                     F               Am
For most of the fans were married by then, so they had to be in by one
 
 
 Am                 Am/G
I'm awfully glad the husbands would say
  F                    E
I'm awfully glad you got someone
Am            Am/G      F                      E
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size
Am                   Am/G             F        E
I think it's great you still remember his name
    Am                       Am/G
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show
      F                E  Dsus2  C  B
He'd be awfully glad you came
 
 
  Am                 Am/G
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
 F              E
"to speak of other things"
     Am               Am/G
Like a fallen star who works in a bar
    F            E
where Yesterday is king
  C                     G#              C                  G#
The fans will stay for an hour or so, they still remember his fame
      Am                 Am/G            F let ring
But the time has come the Walrus said, to call your fans by name
   Am    Am/G    Fm         E    Am    Am/G    F    E
by name          Do dah de doobie dah dah doo doo yah yahhaa
