Couplet
CYou can read right through a A7book of matches
Dm7But that won't make G7you smart
CYou can laugh in the C7face of watches
FBut time will only Fmbreak your heart
FKings reign Fmbeneath umbrellas
CHide pennies A7down in cellars
DmAnd money pours A7down and yet
Dm7No everyone gets G7soaking wet
CWhen bores and bullies Fconspire
E7To stamp out your A7spark
D7Listen for…
A G7Voice In The Dark C
Couplet
CNot a moment too Am7soon as we Dm7blue the G7moon
CAnd a wolf Am7begins to Dm7howl in G7tune
I Cannounced for Am7all Dm7mankind a G7boon
CStand aside you big C7baboon
Now I'm the a Fprize invention
You're the Fmimage of yourself
CForget your cares
And A7disapproving stares
D7I'm not here to try to jump your borders
G7Just ask your nieces and daughters
CI'm flat as sole Am7I'm happy Dm7as a clam G7
CBut they don't Am7know the Dm7kind of man I G7am
(alt for this line only : C A Db D7 G7)
Pont
CLittle fish Am7swimming in a Dm7jealous G7shoal
Now my Cnet is C7overflowing
And I suddenly Fseem to be all seeing Fmand all knowing
I've got Csomething right there
That you A7might want to hear
D7But have no fear
Lend a hand
Lend an ear
G7If your rent-money is in arrears
Couplet
CWe'll be striking up a symphony A7bandstand
Dm7Long of hair and G7loose of tooth
CThere'll be pirouettes and C7startling handstands
FAnd who but acrobats know how to Fmtell the truth
FWhen is said that Fmthen redundant
CThey gallivant in A7peg-leg pants
Dm7I'll be your servant
You'll A7be my pal
Dm7I'll be ever faithful you G7know I shall
CThere's no fool Flike an old fool
E7Who blames it all A7upon his youth
Dm7When times are G7tough and you find you're down
Em7Without a A7star to wish upon
D7Just listen for a G7Voice In The CDark
Couplet
I Cwas striking through a A7box of matches
Dm7Hoping that G7one would spark
I Cheard somebody C7calling to me
A Fvoice in the dark
A Fsound both wild and Fmgentle
Em7Daring and A7confidential
I Dm7thought there was A7music playing
Dm7But it was all and G7only talk
CWhen liars and Fbullies conspire E7to stamp out A7your spark
D7Fill up that empty Gspace in your heart
Em7Listen up when the A7herald says "Hark"
D7Believe in just a G7voice in the Cdark…
