Verse 1
Now, (G major) if you could please
tell me
what your new film is about,
perhaps I can help you with its plot,
which has always been one of
your weakest points.
Right, thank you, that's very
generous.
Let me see, where do I begin?
At first, nothing.
Then, music.
The action begins in a graveyard.
A man has been buried alive,
He's scratching and clawing,
Poor fellow, he's caught
in a terrible (D minor) crunch.
He's (F minor) fighting his way to the surface,
It's likely he'll never survive,
He hardly can breathe,
And he's desperate to keep an
ap (Csus4) pointment for lunch.
An appointment for lunch?
That's absurd.
It's humorous.
It sounds depressing.
It does? (C minor) Uh -huh.
(D minor) In (G major) fact, we begin with a wedding,
A follow -up to what I've described.
They're happy and gay and
in love and spring,
and the (F major) trees are all green.
A trio of capuchin monkeys
insinuates into the frame.
They chatted a bit,
and then one disappears,
but (F minor) the other (E flat major) s remain.
(F minor) Have I mentioned the train? (Csus4)
The train?
(F minor) Of course, there are trains
in all con (G major) tinifilms.
It's my... signature. (A major)
With (D minor) a bold, clean (D major) masterstroke,
(G major) a bold, (A major) masterstroke,
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
suddenly, (D major) we see fire and smoke
With a ball clean, master stroke,
a ball (A major) clean, master stroke
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
suddenly, there's a (D minor) train
With a ball clean, (F major) master (F minor) stroke,
a ball clean, (C major) master stroke
Suddenly, suddenly, (F minor) suddenly,
(G major) suddenly, (F minor) one colossal joke
And (F major) the monkeys (C major) all get on,
the monkeys all get on
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
suddenly, they are all (F major) gone, ciao!
Continue! (D minor) (Ddim) This is not what I want.
There are no (D minor) trains in a (Gsus4) spa.
There are no monkeys (G major) in a spa.
And where is the singing?
Where is the dancing?
What singing? (D minor)
(Ddim) What dancing?
When we had lunch in Paris,
you told me you could (G minor) not wait
to do a musical.
(G major) A musical?
Why do you think I gave you this
contract?
What was (Ddim) I drinking at that lunch?
C 'est pas possible, je ne peux plus
(F major) pourquoi faut -il
que je m 'associe tou
jours avec les idiots.
Madonna, Madonna!
