[Verse 1]
[G][C][G][C][D]
[G]I was made, [Em]so they [D]say
In the burgomas[G]ter's [C]shop
By whom [Am]else [D]but the mayor
I'm [G]one important top
Do i know you? she [D]said For i

[Verse 2]
[G]
do not speak with [C]all
I've got [Am]cork in my [D]head
I am [G]one beau[C]tiful [D]ball!

[Verse 3]
Can't we be sweet[C]hearts?
No, i don't [G]think so
[D]Shan't we be sweet[C]hearts?
[D]No
There are [G]reas[D]ons why

[Verse 4]
we
will not [G]tootle togeth[C]er
You were [Am]made [A]from some [D]tree
Me of [G]african leather
And besides, there's a [D]swallow
Who [G]always says
"I [C]will!"
There's a [Am]promise, or [D]almost
And [G]your chances [C]are nil[D]
We can't be sweethearts
[C]About that [D]swallow...
We shan't be [Am]sweethearts

[Verse 5]

[G]Soon the ball disap[D]pears
She just bounced [G]off some[C]where
Then the [Am]top, after [D]years
Spins [G]away into thin air
[Em]When they [G]meet in the [D]gutter
She's [G]droopy, old and [C]wet
Though her heart's [A]all aflut[D]ter
He's [G]sure they [C]haven't [D]met

[Verse 6]
Were we old sweet[C]hearts?
No, i don't [D]think so
Sure we weren't sweet[C]hearts?

[Verse 7]
[A]No!
[D]In the gar[C]bage, old[D] friends
[G]Look even [D]older
In the [C]garbage, even old [D]friends
Get [G]the cold [D]shoulder[G]
Can't we be sweethearts?
