Verse 2
And you feel (D minor) just like Cagney, she
(G major) looks like Rita Hayworth
At the (C major) counter of the Schwab's

(C major) Got to be patient,
try and (E major) pick up a clue (A minor)
(E major) She said

(A minor) How you gonna like 'em, over
(F minor) medium or scrambled?
(C major) 'Cause any (E minor) way's the (C major) only way,

But you can't (D minor) take your eyes off her,

Mer (G major) cy mercy, (D minor) Mr. Percy,
there (G major) ain't nothing back in Jersey
But a (C major) broken-down jalopy

And an (E major) open (Esus4) invita (E major) tion to the blues
(A minor)

But she used (D minor) to have a sugar daddy

Caddy
And a (C major) bank account and everything,
accustomed to the finer things
He (D minor) probably left her for a socialite, and
(G major) he didn't love her 'cept at night
And (C major) then he's drunk and never
even told (E major) her that he cared
So they (A minor) took the registration,
and (Fdim) the car-keys (F minor) and and her shoes
And (E major) left her with (Esus4) an in (E major) vitation to the blues

the (G major) filling station's hiring
Knock (C major) kneed here every night,
what the (E major) hell have I got to lose?

And I'll (Esus4) ac cept your invit (E major) ation to the blues
