I kinda like the way you dot your "J"s
C#mG#mC#mG#m
With giant circles of navet
C#mG#mEAB
The kind of circles include everything
Emaj7D#mA
Don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise
C#mG#mC#mG#m
It's just a symptom of the blithe age
C#mG#mEAB
Walter Lippmann, he would be amazed.
G#mF#m
So you've got some curb appeal
G#mF#m
But can you cook a three course meal?
G#mF#mB
Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again? Hey!

You are a gardenia, pressed
AG#mF#mB
in the campaign journal in the
AG#mF#mE
rucksack of an Afrikaner
AG#mF#mB
candidate for mild reform.
Emaj7D#mA
It's like we're at a Ponzi scam-inar
C#mG#mC#mG#m
There's no escaping without a door prize
C#mG#mEAB
They're operating at significant loss.
Emaj7D#mA
And now the way that you watch your weight,
C#mG#mC#mG#mC#m
Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon would,
G#mEAB
Richard Avedon would surely approve.
G#mF#m
So much for your curb appeal.
G#mF#m
So much for the three course meals.
G#mF#mB
'Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again. Hey!
AG#mF#mE
The torture of the Van Wyk
AG#mF#mB
Expressway at 5 p.m. on
AG#mF#mE
Friday gives you some idea of
AG#mF#mB
how rejection makes me feel.
AG#mF#mEB#m
Well you are a gardenia,
AG#mF#mEE#m
You are a gardenia.
