*from 'Absolutely' (1980)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: )
Verse 1:
/
Received a letter just the other day;
Don't seem they wanna know you no more.
/
They've laid it down, given you their score.
Within the first two lines, it bluntly read;
Chorus 1:
You're not to come and see us no more;
Keep away from our door,
Don't come 'round here no more.
What on earth did you do that for?
Verse 2:
Our aunt, she don't wanna know, she says;
What will the neighbours think? They'll think;
We don't, that's what they'll think, we don't,
But I will, 'cos I know they think I don't.
Chorus 2:
Our uncle, he don't wanna know, he says;
We are a disgrace to the human race, he says;
How can you show your face,
/
When you're a disgrace to the human race?
Interlude:
(x2),
Verse 3:
/
No com-mittment; you're an em-barrassment,
Yes, an embarrassment; a living endorsement.
/
The in-tention that you have booked,
Was an in-tention that was overlooked.
Chorus 3:
They say, stay a-way; don't want you home today.
Keep a-way from our door; don't come 'round here no more.
Verse 4:
Our dad, he don't wanna know, he says;
This is a serious matter;
Too late to recon-sider,
No one's gonna wanna know ya!
Chorus 4:
Our mum, she don't wanna know,
I'm feelin' twice as old, she says;
Thought she had a head on her shoulder,
/
'Cos I'm feelin' twice as older,
I'm feelin' twice as older,
Coda:
(x2),
Outro:
You're an em-barrassment.
