Hoi Polloi
D MajorD F#m7F#m7
We've been invited to a cocktail party
A augmentedA Bb majorBb C majorC
Over by the palace wa-a-ll
D MajorD F#m7F#m7
I've not been dressed up since my graduation
A augmentedA D MajorD C#C#
Haven't been around at all
B minorBm G+G
Look what happens when you reach the top
B minorBm
The whole world is your oyster
A augmentedA
You walk 'round like a bleeding fop
Chorus:
E MajorE Amaj7Amaj7
Meet me outside the curiosity shop
E MajorE G6G6
No need to bring money
A augmentedA D MajorD
Life can be so funny
G+G C majorC A augmentedA
When you're hangin' around with the hoi polloi
The countess wipes her nose upon her sleeve
Doesn't think that we can see
The duke of astinbury has to leave
He's afraid to dance with me
Look what happens when you've got it made
Everyone respects us
No more mingling with the local trade
Chorus
As the hostess checks the sky for rain
Her fifteen year old daughter
Drives the patriarchal letch insane
Chorus
FF C majorC Bb majorBb BbmBbm
We'll be hangin' around with the hoi polloi (repeat)
