Broadway Melody Of 1974

Tom: Bbm
Bbm Db F
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:
F Faug
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.
Bbm Db F
Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.
F F7 Bbm Db Eb
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing.
F F7 Bbm Db Eb F
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline, failing.

[Verse]
F Faug
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food, and the band plays 'In the Mood'
Bbm Db F
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde.
F Faug
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade
Bbm Db F
He knows, in a scent, you can bottle all you made.
F F7 Bbm Db Eb
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes.
F F7 Bbm Db Eb F
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
Bb C D
with needles; needles and pins.
