[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[G]n I was [Em]young,
I studied hard and thirsted after know[G]ledge
and often burned the midnight oil
so I could [Em]get to college.
They [Am]told me [C]my fine [Em]edu cation
would [Am]help [C]improve my [Em]situation.
[G]So the[Em]n I crammed and crammed
[C]un til I was almost [Em]in a coma,
[G]and thesised and examined
until I got me a dip[Em]loma.
[Am]Ah -ha, they said,
now [C]comes admission
[Em]into a[Am] very high p[D]osition.[G]
Out I went and [C]looked around,
[Dm]and Macy's is [C]the place I found.
I filled [Am]my blanks on ap[Dm]plication
and went for [C]my examination.
[G]They took my weight [C]and took my height
[Dm]and tapped my [C]chest
and tested my sight,
ex[A]amined my head,
took [Dm]prints of my toes,
looked [G]at my teeth,
and up [C]my nose.
examined [Dm]my throat
and [C]measured my hips
and [Dm]even took prints of my
[C]fingertips.
[A]They made me say ah
and told [Dm]me to grunt,
exam[G]ine my back,
examine [Dm]my front.
[C]Then the[G]y tested my IQ
[Em]and [G]asked what I'd like to do
and [Ddim]when that ex[E]am was [D]through
What [Am]there was to know,
[Dm]Macy's [G]knew,
so I got the job.
[C]Life is a [Ebdim]bitter cu[Dm]p of te[G]a,
[Em]now [C]I'm just s[Ebdim]alesgirl 7[Dm]3.[G]
I [C]used to be on the [F]daisy [Ddim]chain,
[C]now I'm a [G]chain store [C]daisy.

I [C]used to be on the [F]daisy [Ddim]chain,
[Fm]now [C]shoppers[G] drive me craz[C]y.
