5 Poofs And 2 Pianos by Tim Minchin

Chords with lyrics

(Chord diagramA augmentedA)                     E/G#
Obviously I don't want to infer that being invited onto Friday Night with Wossy
              Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramE MajorE
isn't wonderfully affirming, and I know I oughta
Chord diagramA augmentedA
appreciate the risk you took, the bookers who agreed to book
 E/G#                             Chord diagramF# minorF#m
 Chord diagramE MajorE
a chap who tends to talk about the kinda things that get the BBC in hot water.

   Chord diagramA major 6A6
And I don't want to seem greedy, I'm just saying
(Chord diagramE MajorE)
I'd like to be here every week if that's OK.
               Fo7(or E7b9/F)
And, if you'll hear me out, I think I've got a way
     Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramD MajorD
in which we could do it pretty easily.
                    Chord diagramE MajorE
You can leave all the boring details to me.
    A6*        Eadd2/A*    F#m/A*
It's a brilliant idea, a truly original concept.
A6*          Eadd2/A*          E/B
No one in Britain has ever done anything like it yet.

Picture this - imagine if we had

(Chord diagramA augmentedA)      E/G#    Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramE MajorE    Chord diagramD MajorD
five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a wicked idea.
  Chord diagramA augmentedA            E/G#
Why settle for a quartet of queers
        Chord diagramD/F#D/F#       Chord diagramE MajorE
When there's a possibility of a penta-poofter-piano-posse here?
(Chord diagramA augmentedA)      E/G#    Chord diagramF# minorF#m   Chord diagramE MajorE    Chord diagramD MajorD
Five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it'll be ace:
 Chord diagramA augmentedA            E/G#          Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramA augmentedA
a hundred percent more pianos and twenty five percent more gays.

Pickup: Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramAbAb
(Chord diagramA augmentedA)
I know, I know, I've seen the problem too.
(E/A)
There's a rumour I am straight, it's true.
(Chord diagramD/AD/A)                 Chord diagramDmDm
It hurts to admit it, but I'm about as bent
          Chord diagramDmDm
as Wossy himself or Fiddy Cent.
(Chord diagramA augmentedA)
But I've already thought it through.
(E/A)
D'you know there's preachers in America who reckon they can do
  Chord diagramD MajorD
sexuality conversions. I've heard them assert
     Chord diagramD7D7
they can cure a man of trouser love and turn him onto skirt.
    Chord diagramE7E7
Well I don't see why they couldn't pull the same trick in reverse, and we'd have -

(Chord diagramA augmentedA)      E/G#    Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramD MajorD
five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a revolution
  Chord diagramA augmentedA          E/G#
and probably the best solution
           Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramE MajorE
to the problem you're inevitably having with an even number of homosexuals.

Pickup: Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramAbAb
(Chord diagramA augmentedA)
Yes I know your producers might suspect
(E/A)
that the licence-paying public will object
(Chord diagramD/AD/A)           Chord diagramD MajorD
to the Corporation having yet
      Chord diagramDmDm
another homosexual to pay.
(Chord diagramA augmentedA)
The Daily Mail will bring the big guns out.
(E/A)
Jan Moir will be frothing at the mouth,
(Chord diagramD/AD/A)
writing further brilliant stuff about
(Chord diagramDmDm)                 Chord diagramE MajorE
the myth about being both happy and gay.

  Chord diagramF# minorF#m      F#m/A Chord diagramF#m/C#F#m/C#
But all that moral indignation
   Chord diagramD/F#D/F#          Chord diagramA/EA/E
will disappear when they see
   Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramA augmentedA
those four lovely guys and me
Chord diagramB minorBm          Chord diagramE MajorE
singing in perfect harmony.

  F#m/A
And all those angry letter writers,
  Chord diagramD/AD/A
like 'Disgusted' from the Isle of Wight
  F#m/A
and 'Mad' from Hull and 'Outraged' from Leeds
   Chord diagramE MajorE           Chord diagramE7E7     Fo7
and 'Slightly Annoyed' from Berwick on Tweed,
   Chord diagramF# minorF#m    Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramD MajorD
will instantly change their tune.
      Chord diagramA augmentedA             Chord diagramE MajorE
They'll be bleeding-heart liberals by Saturday noon.
      Chord diagramD MajorD
They'll be giving their grandchildren up for adoption
    Chord diagramE MajorE            Chord diagramE7E7      Fo7
in the hope that a gay married couple will adopt 'em.

      Chord diagramFF
They'll be putting rainbow stickers on their cars,
  Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramE MajorE           (Bass line - Chord diagramA augmentedA
Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramFF Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA)
and cutting holes in the arse of their leather strides.
And watching 2 pianos and 5 guys
Watching 2 pianos and 5 guys
              Chord diagramG+G (picks up on the Chord diagramG+G in the bass line)
Watching 2 pianos and five ..1, 2 ,3, 4,

(Chord diagramC majorC)     Chord diagramG/BG/B   Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramFF
5 poofs and 2 pianos - yeah, it'll be grand.
    Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramG/BG/B    Chord diagramFF    Chord diagramC majorC
You can never have too many pianos or too much man.
(Chord diagramC majorC)     Chord diagramG/BG/B    Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramFF
5 poofs and 2 pianos - maybe we could out Jamie Cullum.
Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramFF      Chord diagramC majorC
