Always was an early bird

With something on the side

Better buy this, better buy that

  Bm
Now here's the hot-tub, here's the gym

Here's the pool that I swam in
Bm
Up the stairs my footprints led

To the bedroom, to my bed


Bm
Up the stairs my footprints led

To where I lay my bosom head
 Bm
Sleep the long sleep of the dead

I'm an early bird, that's what I said
