 E7                    B7
Suzy and Johnny were happy
 E7                      B7
Earned enough to pay the rent
              D          A6      D7        G
But Johnny's mother-in-law had too much ambition
     F#7                    Bm
And this made Johnny very upset

Chorus:
       B7                        E7
So to keep his little mama satisfied
    B7                               E7
He went and bought the weekly classified
         D    A6     D7     G
All for peace and  quiet's sake

 E7                   B7
Johnny gave up his position
 E7                          B7
Just to please his mother-in-law
    D           A6             D7           G
So he left the job where he'd been all his life
    F#7                         Bm
He left and turned his back on door

                       A7
Now he's looking at the situations vacant
 D
Situations vacant

Chorus:
        B7                         E7
Just to keep his little mama satisfied
    B7                             E7
He went and bought the weekly classified
         D     A6    D7     G
All for peace and  quiet's sake

Then he had to leave the apartment
And sought a less plush residence
And poor Suzy and Johnny had to skimp and save
Just to help to pay the weekly rent

Chorus:
So to keep his little mama satisfied
He went and bought the weekly classified
All for peace and quiet's sake

Johnny's got no money
Got nowhere to go
Johnny's in a great big hole
Suzy's separated, living with her mom
Now little mama's satisfied
