It’s a late Friday night, the street lamps are shining up in my-- bedroom
F C F C Am D G
There’s a mighty big fight between the thunder and lightning, I wonder who-- will lose
E7 Am F G
There’s a party balloon and I ain’t been invited

All grey and gold

Can see Mr. Bouvier, in his two-bedroom basement in his purple dungarees
F C F C Am D G
He’s grumpy and he’s grey, always sweeping off the pavement cigarettes and leaves
E7 Am F G
His kid’s up in China and his wife’s up in heaven
E7 Am F G
Always I wave, ‘cause he’s got this expression
C E7 F D
That he’s so-- alone

The mice are still here, your wardrobe’s still empty, and the walls are still paper thin
F C F C Am D G
And the neighbours my dear, well I think they still hate me for all these songs I endlessly sing
E7 Am F G
Because it ain’t no perfect street, I ain’t no perfect lover

And life it is brief, I don’t think we get no other
