Captain Invincible:

I had chums in the Wall Street crash

Who made a hash of their sums
D MajorD
And burned their mothers for cash

I've known monkeys who were doing OK
BB G#G#
Who met flunkies that would blow you away
C#C# Bb majorBb
They were junkies in less than a day
EbmEbm
There are pushers and hoodlums of great dedication
BbmBbm
That without hesitation supply medication
C majorC
One minute you're a looker that looked
D MajorD
And the next you're a hooker that's hooked
