          A#m
In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
          F#
That you love it here, you've got to stay
        D#m
On the bottom of the rock, an island
                       A#m
On which you find you love it when you twitch
                           F#
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
              D#m
Your pretty pretty pettycoat
           A#m
Then you smiled, he got wild
                                     F#
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
                       D#m
Beauty is a card that must get played
         G#
By organisation

Chorus:
   A#m   F#                 G#           D#m
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
  F#     A#m                 G#          D#m
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
  F#     A#m                G#           D#m
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
F#       A#m                 G#         D#m
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

The world can be a very big place
So be yourself, don't feel out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh, go to Hollywood
And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend and not to pretend I know you, girl
In all situations

Chorus:
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
Well, ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty petticoat
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty petticoat
In all situations

Chorus:
Well, ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
