Verse 1:
           A                                         C
There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
                D                   A
There's a meter maid she arrives by broom
                                      C
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
                D                        A
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night
                                    G
There's a money tree and the latter leans
               D
Up against the trunk but the steps are greased

Verse 2:
A                                    C
There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
            D                 A
In a rubber hand at a drastic price
                                  C
Don't miss this show you will be amazed
                 D                     A
You're a shinin' star, a needle in the haze
                                       G
There's a man upstairs with the fire below
                     D
There's the elevator
N.C.
And away you go

Bridge:
          A         C     G   D
There's a smooth operator
          A           C    G   D
There's a famous governator
A         C        G    D
Everybody walks in L.A.
     A            C    G   D
On a backward escalator
       A         C     G   D
It's a soul terminator
     A          C     G   D
In a sea of alligators
   A              C     G   D
On each and every corner
