I'm the man with the light bulb head,
I turn myself on in the dark.
I'm the man with the light bulb head,
I turn myself on for a laugh.
 
Chorus:
 
    D                A
And how's about you? My pretty one
 
C                      A
Do you still roll and dream of peas?
 
    D                A
And how's about you? My pretty one
 
C                     A
Do you still dream of beans?
 
 
Verse 2:
 
I'm the man with the light bulb head
I turn myself on all the time
I'm alone, like a queen in bed
With a barrel of vodka and lime
 
Chorus 2:
 
And how's about you my pretty one?
Do you still smear yourself with jam?
How's about you my pretty one?
Do you know who I am?

B5
Daddy it's the man with the light bulb head
 
A5
Avert your eyes from his gaze, junior, and we may yet be saved,
 
B5
But daddy, i-it's you,
 
A5
You're too late, I've come to turn you on.
 
Verse 3:
 
I'm the man with the light bulb head
I turn myself on in the dark
I'm the man with the light bulb head
I turn myself on for a laugh
