A                                       D
Saint-Tropez in the golden days of the gorgeous
Brigitte Bardot
 E
Heaven's night is burning bright at
     A             D
the gates of El Dorado
   A                         D
I tasted sin among the bins down at Alvarado
 A                      D
Melbourne's sweet, the sunny streets,
     E             A
the beauty of the garbo

Chorus:
A            D               A
In and out, catch me if you can
D                A               E     A
All the lovely sheilas love the garbo man

By the crack of dawn, as the day is born
and the world is all aslumber
And amidst the dreams and unborn schemes
and the rolls of distant thunder

If you should stir, you'll hear a word
that'll fill your heart with wonder
As the garbo trucks take away the muck
 of last night's puke and chunder

Chorus

Follow me among the shit, me boys,
stinking all and rough
They'll never dump anything useful
but they surely dump enough
I got me end away, me boys, a couple
of times last night

But now I'm on the truck once more,
I'm head to toe in shite
I'm shitfaced and I'm stoned, I want to be alone
But all the lovely Sheilas love a garbo man
