Sorry about this, but I'm using a bit of my own homebrew notation on this chord
chart. Each dash in a line of chords represents a bar (e.g. C--E-Am-F-F7-G-- is 8
bars total) Where there aren't dashes, the chords are played for less than a bar
(e.g. F A# C F at the very end).

Please feel free to improve what I have here and make your own version!

C E
You've got me sitting on your mantle like a little glass figurine
Am F
Why must you be so mean?
F7 G
Don't you know I've got better things to do
C E
I'm like a mail order product from a housekeeping magazine
Am F
How utterly embarrassing
F7 C
Well lady I'm not going to dance that dance


F C
Let the giraffes do it, let the sad clown cry
D G7
Your porcelain kisses are not going to turn me shy


C E
No, I'm not your little boy, your rosy-cheeked joy,
F F7
though the thought of you makes me sanguine
C
I'll do anything you want
F G C
but I won't be your glass figurine
