Memo From Turner
Ton : AEnglish
Couplet
Didn't I see you Adown in San Antone A7on a hot and dusty D7night?
You were eating eggs in Sammy's Awhen the black man there D7drew his knife.
AOr you drowned Athat Jew in Rampton as he washed his D7sleeveless shirt.
You know that Spanish D7speaking gentleman the Aone that we call Kurt.

How forC#mgetful I'm becoBmming now you fiDxed your business Astraight
Couplet
I rememAber you in Hemlock Road in niD7neteen fifty six A
You were a Afaggy little leather boy with a D7smaller piece of Astick
You were a Alashing smashing hunk of a man, your Dsweat shined sweet and Astrong
Your D7organ's working perAfectly but there's a Bmpart that's not Gscrewed on E7
A E7 A E A E7 A E

Weren't you Aat the Coke Convention back in niDneteen sixty five A
You're the misbred grey executive I've seen heavily advertised
You're the Agreat grey man whose daughter licks policeDmen's buttons clean A
DYou're the man who squats beAhind the man who works Bmthe Gsoft machine A
Refrain
C#mCome now genBmtlemen your love Dis all I crave A
You'll C#mstill be in the cirBmcus when I'm lauDghing laughing in my grave A

Well reAmember who you say you are but D7keep your noses Aclean
Boys will Abe boys and play with toys. So be Dstrong with your Abeast
Oh ARosie dear don'cha think it's queer. So Dstop me if you please A
The D7baby's dead my laAdy said.
You genBmtlemen will you all Gwork for Ame
Couplet
When the Aold men do all the fighting and the D7young men all look Aon
And the Ayoung girls eat their mother's meat from Dtubes of plastiAcon
Be waAry of these my gentle friends of Dall the skin you breed A
To D7have that tasty Ahabit, it's Bmnot the Ghands that Ableed
