Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat-socked demi-god

And her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod

Now the people of New Guinea and the people of L.A.
     D5D5
Have been penpals for years cause they both hate ballet
     C majorC              G+G
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway
    D5D5
But the news bulletin claims it is gonna be okay
     C majorC               G+G
Now Miss Lucy had a sweatshop where the immigrants work
    D5D5
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the 12 o'clock stroke
     C majorC            G+G
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X

That was when alien geraniums entered into a fight

And the T.V. gets quiet as I hear a real bad song
                A augmentedA
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue

This is New York!
