Em                     G                  Am
‘Tators in a jam-jar, Parson's collar in the sky
Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high
Moby Dick and Albert making out with Captain Bligh

         C                          D
So you know what you know in your head.
 G
Will you, won't you, do you,
                       F#         B         Wm
don't you know when a head's dead? What a Bringdown!

Winter leader Lou is grownin', Hampstead's
in the north
Betty B's been wearin' daisies since
the twenty-fourth
Wears a gunner when there's one more coming forth

And you know what you know in your head
Will you, won't you, do you
Don't you wanna go to bed?
What a bringdown

There's a tea leaf about in the family
Full of nothin', their fairy tale
There's a tea leaf a-floatin' now for Rosalie
They'll believe in ding-dong bell

Take a butchers at the dodginesses of Old Bill
Aristotle's orchestra are living on the pill
One of them gets very, very prickly when he's ill

And you know what you know in your head
Will you, won't you, do you
Don't you wanna make more bread?
What a bringdown
Yeah
