D           G
Well, she dragged it out forever
                                          F  C
and my ration's almost never, don't you know?
           G
But every time I hit it
                                     F  C
and won't you forget it, don't you know?
            G
She always jumps up in the morning
                                         F  C
and she kisses me goodnight, don't you know?
           G
I got the burgeons left and a headache right
            F C             G  E
Don't you know, don't you know?

Chorus:
A
Looking good, looking fine, looking so pretty
 E                A
So rotten to the bone
 A
Never been hungry, never been smitten
    E                  A
But oh, rotten to the bone
   D                     A
I bet you find time for looking in the mirror
  D                  A
Twenty-five times a day
     D                  A
You never get tired of looking in the mirror
        B                       E
But you always see things in a most peculiar way
A
Looking fine, looking fine, looking so pretty
 E                A
So rotten to the bone

You didn't have to hurry
'cos she doesn't seem to notice, don't you know?
If you believe that rubbish
then you're really in trouble, don't you know?
It couldn't be her fault,
she never gets it into focus, don't you know?
Well, her eyes need checking
and her bum needs slaps
Don't you know, don't you know?

Chorus

Well, she dragged it out forever
and my ration's almost never, don't you know?
But every time I hit it
and won't you forget it, don't you know?
She always jumps up in
the morning and she kisses me goodnight,
don't you know?
I've got the burgeons left and a headache right
Don't you know, don't you know?

Looking good, looking fine, looking so pretty
So rotten to the bone
Never been hungry, never been smitten
But oh, rotten to the bone
I bet you find time for looking in the mirror
Twenty-five times a day
You never get tired of looking in the mirror
But you always see things in a most peculiar way
Looking fine, looking fine, looking so pretty
So rotten to the bone
Looking fine, looking fine, looking so pretty
So rotten to the bone
Looking fine, looking fine, looking so pretty
So rotten to the bone
